Is this standard?

Snipped from a YT video obviously

This gearshift gaiter aluminium surround ring, my car doesn't have it. Perhaps it once did but i bought it without an engine or gearbox (with the gaiter and the shifter extension lever in the boot) but no ring.



Thanks

I think they are after market. You see them on Chimaeras and Griffiths too, but they weren't fitted when new.

[Lefty]

Thanks.

In a standard car is the gaiter sewn into the tunnel?

[sixor8]

No, it just sits in there, which is probably why people fit them, to smarten it up a bit.

[Lefty]

Ok, great.

Thank you

The handbrake cover, gear knob and gaiter ring all look like Leven accessories, but I think they stopped trading some years ago.

I've got the old Leven handbrake cover, it's nicer than that one. That one looks like one you can still get on Amazon or ebay.

As said the gear surround isn't standard, the leather can often get damaged around there so it's not a bad way of covering that up.
