I've noticed that the leather on the gearstick and handbrake on my tamora is start to look the worst for wear. Where is the best place to get replacements from and is it a difficult job to do???

I had to remove my centre tunnel, and in the process realised that I couldn't take the tunnel off without separating the handbrake gaiter from the tunnel. Both the gear stick and handbrake gaiter's are glued in place (at least, they are on mine) and they are quite easy to remove by carefully peeling the glued underside off. Fixing new ones would be a reverse of that.

I have seen them for sale at quite a few places online, Racing Green, Central TVR, EBay (of course...), TVR Power:

I got mine from topgaiters here and was quite pleased with their work:

They can supply any leather color and stitching color you need.

Note: I ordered them to fit my T350 and the handbrake gaiter came without collar to glue it to the tunnel. It works fine as is, but maybe you prefer otherwise. So you basically could tell them to fabricate it with or without collar.

I also prefer the gearstick gaiter to not sag like an old bag, like it was from the factory. The ones from topgaiters are clamped to the top side of the gear stick.

^^ Any more photos of your interior Roberto? I was thinking of a similar grey/cream combo if I ever could afford to get mine done!
