Bit of leather around gear lever

[chasod69]

Hi,
I'm sure there's a more technical term for it!!

My '93 Chim has a pretty spotless interior apart from splits in the leather around the gear stick, handbrake etc. Where could I get this? how easy is this to replace or how expensive would it be to get it replaced

Many Thanks

I sent all my gaitors to Martrim and got new ones back in a few days for about £35

Maybe Leven will produce some in alloy - ali-gaiters!

The technical term for the piece of leather around my gearstick is "loincloth". Bleh

Hi,

went down this road 6 months ago, quite a few companies were willing to make new ones if I sent the old one to them, albeit at a cost. In the end Martim (advertised in the Sprint) sold me an offcut of hide, I unstitched the old ambla one and used it as a template to cut out a new one and the wife stitched it together on her sewing machine. In the end it only cost a tenner and a few hours work, looks the bis' and in a contrasting (Magnolia console and navy gaiter)colours.

Taking the old one off involves removing or rather unsrewing the gaer knob, a bit of a bitch to do just persevere. and its just glued at the bottom.
