handbrake handle

[gadger]

has anybody even tried to replace the standard one?? if so how you do it??? and im assuming with the shape of it you cant get a gaiter on too??? i wanna one to match me gear knob and pedals and i have a few quid floating about for once.

i dont think you can take it off, becos the whole bar is the hand brake, it doesnt screw off, i think??? suppose some1 will probs tell me wrong

I used a universal sleeve with a leather gaiter. The original handbrake cover and horrible rubber gaiter thing just pulls off as one with some brute force. I then removed the handbrake console & attached the gaiter from inside with some small screws............

looks really good. much better than the original, im glad it can be easily done, job for the weekend im thinkin'
cheers mate

yeah, take the front seats out too and give the whole interior a good clean. its much easier to undo the handbrake console with the seats out.
