Gaiters

[Christhurlow61]

Can anyone help with finding out where the rubber gearstick gaiter and the hand break gaiter are from as mine split all over and totally useless looked on flea bay and three isn't anything gearstick one has front diesel 2.5 lyrics on handbrake end and front 1.8 tc-diesel Front diesel on the other

It's from a Ford Sierra, might be easier looking at Ford stuff.
If my memory serves me correctly I think someone has used Landrover Discovery gaiters with some success.

I think the MGB gaiter also fits the gearlever. Not sure, so buy from somewhere you can return it.
Other than that, it is a fairly simple round shape, so something like ancient Landrover or 1960/70s Mini ought to fit
I agree that the handbrake is Ford, Sierra or Granada.

If it's the Sierra item then they are obsolete. You may find a NOS item or s/h on ebay but they are rare.

I am unfamiliar with the Chim/Grief linkage set up so the following may or may not apply;

Used the same gaiter for both the Wedge (LT77 gearbox) and the S (Type 9 gearbox) Slight difference in the two to deal with the linkages used but the principle the same.

Here's one I found on Ebay - but hold your existing one against the pictures before you buy. I think this is what i bought, but I did have to cut it a bit to make it fit IIRC )it as 4 years ago)
