Recommendation Needed: Leather Gaiter and Handbrake

Hi all

Looking to replace my gearstick leather gaitor and handbrake too. The former is looking a little tired now. I'm looking for something ideally in genuine leather or classy alternative (nothing too colourful but subtle stitching is ok).

Also anyone recommend a decent handbrake handle cover or can you get these new still?

Thanks

Greg

For the gaiters mate top gaiters now called jf customs iirc on eBay are good. They also do the handle cover to but can't comment on them. They are still available from Mr t too

One tip, when fitting a handbrake gaiter, trim the rubber console piece at the rear of it on the inside. With a gaiter on the handbrake it makes it thicker and pushes up and down against the rubber deforming it. Trimming the hole bigger gives it space to move freely without slowly damaging the rubber

If you were wanting yours retrimmed then I would highly recommend a guy called Vincent Gibson, I looked for ages trying to get someone to do my gauge pod and no one would touch it as they all said it was too complicated but Vincent said yeah thats fine and I couldn't be happier with the result it was such a great quality job. If interested whatsapp me and will give contact details

Here's how my gauge pod came out...

Thanks mate yeah I was really happy with the quality of it

Thanks all and good tip Evin.

Thanks Shawn that does look awesome.

Might be a good option depending on cost. Happy with a smart off the shelf one though for gearlevel gaiter. I haven't tried returning my handbrake lever actually may look into that.

It may not look it in the pictures. But the leather they use is very soft and matt. Very smart looking

Currently using one of those ebay gaitor/gearstick leather jobs, the gearstick looks lovely except for the velcro join at the top (not really shown in pictures), I guess there's no alternative to velcro short of restitching it but unfortunately it does cheapen the look. The handbrake gaitor never fit from the start and I couldn't find a way of fixing the base... ended up just leaving it as I knew I'd be pulling it all out for spraying anyway. If you removed the rubbery stock handbrake cover you might get it to work, I was just reluctant to go cutting off OEM parts.
