How to remove the Automatic Gearbox Selector Cover
I have not seen one that far back or another as far forward as mine - they kept lot of the Reliant practices - no two the same

How bizarre, mine is in the same position as the grey one (right back). I too cannot feel any screws at all at the front + no access at all at the rear.
I'm intrigued now as I did consider removing my cowling as well.
Looking forward to this mystery being solved.

Don't forget mine is a early car - number nine and I believe the first one ordered.

Mick, I never did solve this problem. I was speaking to QRG earlier today about some other parts and asked if they knew how the cover comes off. He mentioned that he had sold an example of the cover to you - sounded fairly recently? Although he couldn't recall exactly how he got it off he seemed to recall just "pulling it". I wonder whether you are able to see on the part you bought where the clips are or by what other means it is secured?mick_gaugh wrote: ↑Tue Aug 28, 2018 11:11 pmHow bizarre, mine is in the same position as the grey one (right back).

How to remove the Automatic Gearbox Selector Cover
Andrew,
Attached are a couple of photos of the selector cover on my car (MB54). The selector appears to be in a similar position to your car and the surround cover simply pulls upwards, there are no screws or clips holding it in. On the selector indicator plate there is a small tab at the front that might serve some sort of locating purpose but I could not see where it would engage on the surround cover.
Good luck
Andy

Not like mine - to start with there are four screws holding mine in position ( 2 of which you cannot get at ) and the cover is up to the other end.

The two images show the locations of the screws - I apologise for the orientation being wrong - tried several ways to get them the right way up without success!
