boombastictiger Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 I had to cut the leather down the strip, and pull it off, the old leather is stuck to it the knob so u might want to smooth it down after before putting a new one on..

ChrisSZ Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Stupid Q possibly but ............what's an E handbrake? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonB Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 E as in emergency. In Japan they always call it the E-brake, US too I think. And yes, stanley knife is the answer to how to remove the cover. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matti85 Posted August 20, 2006 Author Share Posted August 20, 2006 So you mean that i will have to cut the handbrake, and then what, whats under the lether cover that will make it losse ? Is that relly the only option, (to destroy the old brake handel) im nut sure if the one i bought from ebay relly fits, its 24mm i diameter. So if it wont fit then im stuck there without a handbrake.

SimonB Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 The handbrake handle is metal with a rubber cover - that's the bit you have to cut off. The handle and gaitor is all one bit. Once you've cut it you can peel it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimonB Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Don't know, I think it will depend on how it clamps on to the actual handbrake. I think the only way to tell would be to try it unless anyone else has one. I've got a Momo one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
