Leven ally gear gaiter surround

[icb]

Have bought one of these but seems very fiddly to fit. Has anyone fitted one, and what tips do you have before I start.Thanks a lot.

I ordered one of these as they really do finish that part of the car of.
Unfortunately My Hole was to Big ,apparently the first one Leven had come across with quite a few they had made. and they where very good about it and I need to meet up with them for them to measure my hole oo err.
I thought the instructions looked to be spot on, was a bit concerned mind cutting the Gearstick gaitor but you can cut a bit big then take a bit more off to finish.

I love the look, and Dr. Joolz is getting some experience of fitting them next week, because Wol's getting one.

Ian,
I fitted one last week, yes it is tricky, but the instructions really do give all the tips you need. I fitted mine with the gator still on the gear stick to make sure I could still get all the gears without stretching the gator. My only advice would be keep checking the throw of the lever before making the decision to punch holes in the gator, too tight and you will see the holes when you adjust it, too loose you can always position the holes further in and they won't be seen. Oh just remembered try and position the gator so that you don't have to punch through one of the seams, makes it easer. Hope it makes sense.
Cheers
David
P.S. when you've got the gator pulled out it's a good time to give it a clean and some leather feed.

Leven have one on their online brochure www.leventechnology.co.uk/pdfs/leventech_tvr_june2004.pdf

The fitting of these is not as bad as it sounds and when you have it in front of you it is a lot clearer.

We showed them to a lot of people at Cardif last weekend and they proved very popular. So popular that we have sold all we had in stock plus more! The good news is that there is already a new batch being made to be ready during October.

The Chimaera one is also being finalised this week so that too should be ready late in October.

If anyone would like more info or help please give us a call.

Fitted one to my Griff and it drew some attention at the S.Yorks TVRCC meeting in September with being a new product. Was a bit fiddly but instructions were spot on and finishes centre console off well.

I fitted mine without any big problems except my hole was too small, so instead of clamping into place it was necessary to drill the centre console which I am not worried about, as I have no intention of removing it. Very pleased with it now, really looks the business.
