MGF impact with stone on the road

Pilot Error of the driver ;-)
Guilty for this damage was a stone, looking out of a bumpy road. Find below the pitures of
a temorary unusual repair of the unusual broken gear ball joint.
This is hard stuff. Don't try to copy, but learn how the gear seledtion works.

First spot on the damage. The way over the rock.	Errr.... thread joint broken	axle stand for secure works	in this case put not under the usual location subframe bearing, but under body work. Added some piece of timber.

	finally after the first test found the reverse gear getting in badly. There's missing some mm for the pulling of the gear cable	take the hacksaw and cut :) Should have done that already before mounting the bicycle hose gaitor.

Notice: The MGTF uses a shorter gear change cable. (app 139 cm long. Needs a different bell crank and gearbos bracket to fit to the MGF)
