ebay, look for Mr Gaiter

There were quite a few on e-bay last time I looked.

Type TVR Chimaera into the search function and look down the results (- there's normally 3 pages of results).

Bought one from him last year - good quality leather and a good fit.

I have a mulberry coloured one at home if anyone needs one?

Here you go, think he just changed his name, had some for the Griff of him at xmas also did some for the Cerb last year. Sent him a swatch and he matched it.

Thumbs up for 'Mr Gaiter' from me too...I have as near an exact match as is possible in Magnolia..good quality too. I sent him a picture of it fitted to use on his website/ads etc (the flash bounced off the centre console making it look lighter than it is against the gaiter):

I got mr gaiter (Ala) to make a special one for my Chim only last month, I have fitted a Leven gear lever surround and I found it difficult to get the original gaiter to gather up without looking horrible (you need to fit one to understand?).
He made one that was narrower than the standard one for me and it fitted a treat!!

would love to see a pic of the gear surround installed skaramooch.

I bought a replacement gaiter from mr gaiter last year and he didnt have magnolia material, consequently mine didnt match so i never fitted it, maybe try and find him again.

I sent a magnolia one back 2 weeks ago, a little lighter than what I needed... awaiting a new one by return.

Are they the same pattern for a Griff? If so, I'm interested.

piece of cake, unscrew the gear knob, may be a bit tight at first, then if your gaiter is stuck to the under side of the console push your fingers into the gap where it meets and it should tease away with little effort, remove and refit new one (though the new one wont need sticking in as it gathers and doesnt move when fitted.)
