Hi Guys,
I'm looking to replace my handbrake and gearstick gaitors and swear blind I saw someone on here who had got replacement black ones with red stitching. I've tried to search but must be having a 'senior moment' as I cannot for the life of me locate the thread!!
I've come across this website
www.jfboots.com/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=562 - are they the chaps to contact?
regards and TIA
John

Hi John,
I removed mine and took them to a local retrimmer and they charged £20 each to replicate them.
You could then choose any colour leather & stitching combination.

Red 1990 SE 28,000 miles - Bought 2020. I should drive this more often!

I had mine re-trimmed along with the seats & door card inserts but I see no reason not to follow Denny's suggestion if you only want the gaitors done.
Where are you based? Maybe somebody can recommend a local re-trimmer?

I got them from:
