Gear stick gaiter

[Kerberos]

Should the leather gear and handbrake gaiters be fixed to anything? Mine look quite untidy because you can see in to the transmission tunnel through the space around them.

If i remember right, they are usually glued to the under side of the transmission tunnel/arm rest thingy.

[mikesr]

Isn't there a nice ali gear stick surround?
Which neatly clamps the gaiter to the tunnel?

[ridds]

Yep stuck to the underside of the centre console.

You can get 2 or 3 trims, a pressed Ali one on ebay (starts at £14 usually) a funky bolt together milled item at £80!!!! and another which screws into the console.

It looks like glueing it will be massive job. I assume you need to remove the centre armrest/console. I can't find one of the ally bexels easy through google, has anyone seen one anywhere whilst browsing??

[Fex2005]

just checked mine and its loose aswell

[ridds]

Just lift the centre console up from the rear.

Brush on some evo-stick to both parts, wait a few mins and then push together, job jobbed.

Cheers Ridds, the bit that should be glued under still is, some muppit's cut it off I 'll have to get a new one!

I got a leather one from my local upolster (crap spelling i know) for £4 and is alot better than the leather cloth TVR used.

I've just bought one of the £80 jobbies from Dave Beevers in York. See here for pics and contact details http://www.aauk.biz/Cerbera/cerberanews10.htm

I know its a lot, but it really looks the part and secures the gaiter without gluing or using self tappers etc.

[ridds]

Really want one of those but it's just too much for me. Looks bloody well made though.

[alinton]

Ridds I have one spare. PM me.

That looks the biz Longbow! Worth 80 quid??

[longbow]

Arguably not, but my gaiter is detached and it spoils the whole interior - when anyone gets a ride they comment at how cool the interior is befor pointing at the gaiter and going 'I can see what they mean about build quality'. As I can't get my hand underneath it, there isn't a lot I can doo to fix it either. Also, I know if I got the £14 one from ebay I'd always look at it and think 'hmmm, I wish I'd got the other one'. I should have it by Thurs so will let you know what I think after its fitted.

[Kerberos]

Longbow, can i have an update on the gaiter surround before a spend 80 quid please.

[jonbarrett]

I must have one too.

[longbow]

I missed it in the post this weekend, so I'll be fitting it next weekend - haven't forgotten though.

This one seems to match the dial surrounds perfectly.

Sorry, slightly off-topic, but does anyone know if there is one for the hand brake too? Previous owners of my car have damaged the trim by pulling the handbrake to almost vertical!!
