Car Builders Solutions?

I made this for my Aries:



Positioned perfectly

I also need a handbrake gaitor and alloy surround! no luck yet though...

I Have a Stuart Taylor which is the earlier vertion of the Aries, I used the locking cap and surround from the Firebale petrol tank, knock out the inside put in a gator and you have a very smart base for the gear lever. For the lever itself I used the swan neck from a bikes handelbars, this has a nice bend that sits within your hand very well.

Just found these handbrake sourrounds
