Hi all,

I've posted this elsewhere but not got any response!
I've a small tear in the leather of my Chim under the handbrake lever:



I don't really want to go to the expense of have a new section made and sown in etc (rest is in good condition), so I just want to stop it getting any worse. Any ideas as to the best way?

Cheers,
Stuart

Hi stuarte, I seem to recall on here somewhere a post saying that Furniture Clinic do products to "fill" minor holes and tears in leather,with good results. May be worth a try . Colin

Take the Mrs for a days shopping at Freeport Braintree in Essex while you drop the car around to this guy. (he lives just around the corner from Freeport)

He will fix that in a matter of minutes and you would never know it was ever there.
