MG Midget and Sprite Technical - anti rattle kitll

Hi Guys(and Gals) Not contributed lately but I prefere to read what "the experts" have to say. Now the question is:I was told I required an anti rattle kit to quieten my lever.I duely contacted the owners club who sent me the kit,a spring,a nylon bit,a rubber grommet and a gasket.I took the carpet out,removed the lever surround and located the 3 bolts holding the lever in.I removed the bolts,plate and lever.Sadly I cannot find none of the above items.I think I know where they go but in what order. Also what is the gasket for. Useful replies appertaining to these questions only please.

Mmmm

Prop and the Blackhole Midget

The spring and the plastic seat go under the lower ball of the gear lever.

There should be an o-ring that fits into the groove in the lower ball.

There should also be a small brass plunger with a spring which fits into a hole in the side of the remote and presses against the side of the large ball on the lever.

I'm not sure about the gasket. What shape is it?

If you look at the Moss catalogue

parts 141-143 may be the bits you're talking about?

The brass plunger and spring are nos 108 & 109.

The whole kit ( 5 pieces) is top right - no 137
