I'll probably be making a limited quantity of something like this soon after I've finalised the design...<br><br><br><br><br>I could have a crack at a matching parking brake too?

Ohhhhh! Shiny and nice! I'd be interested in a gearstick/handbrake set too!   <br><br>Also... how did you colour the leather under the gearstick?

• Obtained some yellow leather<br>
• Removed knob and gaiter piece<br>
• Took gaiter to auto upholstry shop with leather swatch<br>
• They removed the old panel and sewed in the new panel<br>
• Reinstalled them

<br> ;D

My dirty console:<br><br><br><br>Sparco shift knob...can't remember the E-brake...<br><br>Most anything will work, but hardly any will be "drop-in."  Usually a little creativity required <br><br>I hate that stock shift gaiter....<br>

[Doug]

that's why they are always fighting over the "middle seat"   <br><br>you should hook the mirror heaters into it   ;D

[stevieshag]

Well i was thinking that maybe, they enjoyed the music i was listening too, but now i think it just could be the vibes going through the lever.  :o

Hi all,

Just giving the car a few finishing touches ready for Donington, Ive replaced the old Gear Knob and Hand Brake Handle and had the Gaiters retrimmed in Magnolia Leather.

Got the Chrome rings coming for the gauges and might even rush to get a new set of tailored mats ready.

Cheers

Ps the Hand Brake Gaiter is a b@stard of a job on S2's, theres clips holding it on inside the console!
