Wooden appendages !

[JVaughan]

Just noticed the handbrake grip is loose and starting to split. Anyone have any tips on the best place to get a wooden one ?

No bargains on eBay at present.

Was looking at the MX5 ones ... a few of those in breakers close to me.

or I can get a new one for £30 ish

MX5 one's don't fit, the hole is too small.

I bought one and tried to enlarge it but it didn't look like there would be enough material left on it

Hi Mate..I had one made by a fellow wedger who is out in OZ..I suppose if you took the one off what is on it now and found a good wood worker or furniture restorer then they might be able to make one using the plastic one as a template..You might need to do some filing adjustment to make a good fit....Ziga

Hmmm .. Cheers for confirming the MX5 ones wont fit.
Think Ill knock one up myself

Cheers

Also started work on a handbrake handle Pix to follow
