Hi All,

The leather gaiter round my gear stick has seen better days, so am looking for a replacement. While I am at it, i was thinking of replacing gear, handbrake and door knob, so they all match.

Does anyone know of a supplier?

Thanks in advance.

Peter.

Beware of Fleabay... I was sent the wrong colour from the guy on there... sent it back and despite many emails... never heard anything back!

Got mine from Mr Gaiter on fleabay. He sent a mulberry one first for some reason and then sent my correct cream one. So I have a mulberry gaiter sitting in the garage if anyone wants it!

I got gear and handbrake from this ebay seller http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/foudabuzaid

They are not a perfect match to my magnolia (a bit lighter in fact), and the handbrake gaiter looked more like it was cut for a griff, but overall its ok.

I also got mine from Mr Gaiter (Gaitor?) on Ebay. No issues and more than happy with the product.

Hi all
Just tried fitting the hand brake gaitor purchased from the same source on ebay,
and I cant get it to fit as the opening is too small. The new gaitor is a total
diffent shape and size, has anybody else had similar problems?
They have offered to make a new one using the old one as a pattern, but as they seemed to have have sold a few without complaint I was wondered whether I just needed and older/newer version instead (if they do such a thing).

I think these companies are selling kits marked as 'Griffith/Chimaera' with the handbrake gaiter cut for a Griff which is in fact slightly different to a Chim.

Although the one I purchased does sort of fit, I emailed the seller with pics showing the difference but never got a response.

So if they are offering to make you one then take them up on it.

I've sent both the old and new one back, I'll keep you posted on the outcome, I did suggest that any new pattern they made up could be used for future customers.

Got the new one back this week and its a far better match to the original shape, the hole was still smaller than the original but it fitted o.k.
All's well!
