Hay gang..

 

Ok bit of a spin off this thread:

(Att Scott M as I know he wanted to see how it came out so he can do his)

 

Well I bought my self a Richbrook Gear Knob + Handbrake Gaiter also a new Handbrake Handle as mine was getting a lil worn.

 

I fitted the handbrake gaiter so it would all be plush with the handle. It was a bit of a pig to get it looking tidy due to the way the Supra handbrake is shaped, but after tucking and stretching I got it looking quite nice.

 

I replaced the gear knob gaiter as the lil "nipples" I suppose the best way to describe them had broken off underneath the manual surround so only glue could hold the gaiter.

But as the gaiter was designed to fit the supra perfectly, there just wasn’t enough leather to glue down.

So I bought a large universal Richbrook one to slice and dice, and it came out lovely! I also super glued the leather all the way to the lip of the surround so it looks that lil bit nicer, like the OEM ones are...

 

Problem I was having:
