Guys, has anyone swapped the standard black rubber handbrake cover and black button on their wedge for a "Leven" style one ?

I have one thats not been fitted, and, looking at the original one, the Black button when unscrewed had a spring and a number of nuts used as spacers and the metal handbrake itself is flared, plus the thread on the button doesn't look like its going to fit.. I may have to re-tap the replacement button
The ali handle itself looks as though its going to need to be modified as it wont sieve over.

Whats the general consensus on fitting ? has anyone had these issues ?

Hi mate...Not ure about any of Leven's products although it does look stunning...Also i had a bit of sanding and fettling when i had this Australian Handmade handbrake cover made...Even the English Handmade solid burr walnut gear knob needing fettling to make fit...

While we are on interiors...Has anyone got the centre console with the stitched sides...I had them in Delilah and was convinced it was vinyl...As opposed to wrapped around like mine...Easier to re-cover i guess....Cheers...Ziga

I fitted a Leven ally handbrake cover and button to my 350 a good few years ago now but I deffo had no issues, it fitted straight on.
Can't imagine handbrakes were different.
