all the parts are availabe! i ordered them this week,
there is a repair kit at the bottom of the stick, the red and black bit that slides on the rod and presses into the black box that holds/ houses the stick and finally the alloy bit at the end with the rubber ball fixed on it, and there is a clear plastic bush that presses into the alloy bit and sits on the 8 mm ball joint, gearbox end of the linkage
havent got any pics but im sure if someone has etka/ etos they will be able to confrm

yeah all the bits are available except the plastic Rectangle bit that fits between the metal housing and the body with the 2 wee foam gaskets on it (ETKA only shows 1 gasket but you need 2).

harderst bit is getting the wee pin out the shift rod where the spring and ball socket are.
