I currently have Leven dash buttons, blower control, wiper delay and column adjust,polished handbrake, polished Sparco gearknob and a woodrim TVR steering wheel with polished spokes but I'm not keen on the Leven stalks so I'm gonna go for the Zertec items, has anybody got these and are they good to use? As Zertec do a polished option I though this would complement the interior nicely. Any comments?

Yep i have them on the Griffith and think they look great, paddle like and IMHO a bit more interesting looking as with the Zertec Handbrake Handle and they also are easy to get your fingers to as not as small as some other ones.
Eay to fit and came with excellent instructions.



This is an old pic from my profile and if you like can get a closer one for you??

I've had them on the chim for the last few years and think there great, nice to use and look better than the (nicley made) Leven stalks, the shape has more style i think.

easy to fit although the cutting the old stalks take a little courage to start with....

Yep got them on my Griffith, I think I was one of Clive's original batch so I got them before Leven started making theirs. That said I prefer the Zertec ones as I think they look rather nice - Leven's ones are more "Chimaera" IYKWIM ! Rich...

Well it's all personal taste, isn't it!

Can't say I'd give the Zertec house room, especially the handbrake - the Leven ones are just Nice clean lines really emphasise the classic air of the rest of the piece of automotive artwork.

If you're worried about how easy/difficult it is to fit... I managed it and I never do DIY! Just need to cut stalks and file down.

I must admit I couldn't control myself and bought all the Leven stuff. Excellent stuff, realy nice people Julie and Simon, great service. They made me a special version of the coolant cap because their normal version did not fit. The only exception are the stalks, they are from Zertec. I found them a nicer shape than the Leven ones, they looked as if they were shaped to look like the dooropener handles. If you are affraid of cutting you original plastic ones, do as I did and go to a wrecker and buy an extra pair from them. They are from any Opel/Vauxhall of the last 10 years, so easy to find.
