Datsun gearbox parts in UK?

[Amphibian]

I have located a 210/120Y 5 speed box in the UK, but the supplier says it is missing the gear lever, clutch release bearing carrier and clutch release fork. Without these of course I can't put it into my Frogeye (using Rivergate kit naturally). He says I should be able to get these new, but where? OK I can spend the day on the net searching, but I just wondered if anyone can quickly point me in the right direction.

I would bet that the Rivergate folks could provide these few items. After all they will provide a tranny ready to go.

Here in the states, I was able to order the nylon bushings for the shift lever through a Nissan dealership.

I'd give Will at Rivergate a call; here's his business card:

While you're at it, I'd also have him modify the shift lever; here's the one he did for me:

Tell him Ray in Georgia sent you.

You can get Datsun 210 parts like that fairly cheap. They were called cherry or blueberry or something in the UK, maybe Sunny, I can't remember. I just drank 3 home brews and my thinking is off at the moment. I used to know some dismantlers in the UK. I will look them up if necessary. I would have went for the sierra gearbox, it works and is easier to find.
