Handbrake gaiter

Post by Dwaynem884 »

Due to my own stupidity, I need a new handbrake gaiter. Mine has shrunk... don't ask why :shock:

On getting a 2nd hand one I figure taking up hen dentistry would be more fruitful.

1992 Lotus gold is the official finish as far as my knowledge goes, if perchance someone does have one lying about, I would happily have one.

If none are in existence, would anybody have a flat pattern template for it. I can then get a new one made. Mine is pretty useless to measure from without guess work.

Thanks,
Dwayne

SJ has them listed on their website- maybe call to confirm the correct color.

Drop me a PM or email me at tonydakin2@gmail.com

I've got a template from when I made a black interior and may have the leather pieces also. They aren't lotus Gold, but just so happens that's the colour of my car and I have some leather colour from Furniture Clinic still that they matched.
