FYI, couple of points the guide misses.
1. The standard setup has two rubber gaiters on it, one above the pivot and one below. Fit the lower one to the compbrake style shifter, stops crap getting into the cabin and reduces noise.
2. The lower collar appears to be a poor fit on the eBay jobs, the range of movement is limited by it so 2nd and reverse don't engage properly, when you pull back on the gear stick it arcs round towards centre. If you fit a GE style quickshift to shorten forwards/backwards throw this isn't an issue. Otherwise it makes it a PITA and you look like a clown failing to get it in gear. Would be worth using just the upper collar to keep the desired range of movement and araldite-ing it in place
