Suggestion Paul, why don't you make a leather boot for the gear lever? very simple to do, I have some old leathers from my biking days which I have unstitched, I plan to sew a simple funnel shaped tube to slip over the gear lever then trap under a polished stainless ring (like a very large washer) secured by screws onto the gearbox cover.
Bit's of suitable leather are easy enough to obtain, if not from bike leathers, maybe from from old furniture, car boot sales?
