Gear and hand brake gaiters
Hi,
What have people done for the gear lever and handbrake gaiters. I have found the Tiger ones to be a bit "stiff" and lacking in any
finesse.
And how have people attached them to the tunnel tops?
Any help/advice or pics appreciated.
Cheers,
Pat...

I cut new ones from vinyl fixed with escutcheons made from 3mm aluminium, held on with stainless countersunk socket head bolts.
Works for me!
Cheers
Chris
Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

Dont laugh, I used a Transit one. Cut down the number of "bellows" to the size you want and make a surround to fit it to the tunnel top.
Looks far better than it sounds.

Try one from an MGB --- attaches to the tunnel via a nice chrome ring.

Or black on the later rubber bumper models!
Once I've finished a project why do I start another?

Have a stooge round your local scrappy. Plenty of cars come with leather gaiters as standard fitment items so you should find one suitable.
