Its a DIY job. Someone has adapted a Non MK1 gaiter to suit.

The one earlier in the thread is the correct one.

The original gaiter should also be mostly hidden under the carpet with only the wand gear lever poking through the carpet, the metal retainer surround is screwed onto the floor....not with the gaiter/metal surround on top of the carpet like is sometimes seen on restored early Minis.

The one in your picture looks like a moke gaiter.

This is the usual item with the retainer.

Have this lot under the carpet.

Thank you all.....
I have replaced the Mini Spares gator shown
Thought maybe one was available later in production of the MK1, as i like the gator on top of the carpet!

The one in your pick looks most like a rod change gaiter as has already been suggested.
