I would not use ally on the gearstick! It ill bend during a track day or something when you are not to kind with it. The damper doesnt do much, keep it for the time being, and replace the whole stick if needed later. I'm 99.9% sure that the DONkey has a ally gear stick. Isambard Kingdom Brunel said:

The cage is going back in, its just been taken out to be painted seperately. he gear lever position, was partly weigh saving, partly bling factor, and partly driving position, oh and can run a larger bore exhaust with less clearnce issue too. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Fusion-Fabri..._homepage_panel
