I keep saying that:) Wonder if someone out there has managed to fab a cover to go over the bottom of the gaitor? Thenoname Quote
spursmaddave Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 Here is a pic of my Handbrake naked Graham is quite correct and the 3 holes are where different covers have been fitted You can tuck the gaiter down inside of the handbrake assembly but you have to be careful or it stops the working of the handbrake itself.

coldel Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 I seriously don't trust myself to do this correctly...I have had a leather gaiter and momo handle sat in my spares box for a month now Quote

coldel Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 I'll bring the tools, you bring the skills! Quote
glrnet Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 This could be fun, I'll sort Dave's wing mirrors while we're at it I'll bring the tools, you bring the skills! Quote
coldel Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 Potentially a very unique meet coming up me thinks Although not sure what I bring to the party in the way of skills - I guess if you need any consumer research done I'm your man Quote
4RE Leather Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 OMG a naked handbrake. this is X rated Adult stuff. Can you put naked pictures on here? Excellent stuff. The combination of this and Graham's imput should convince me to give it a go myself. I can alwas cut it off and fill up the whole and spray matt black if it won't work. just leave it in gear:) thenoname Quote
4RE Leather Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 Well I hope this meet is in the warm? We could have it in Rykas at the base of Box Hill. That way we can sit supping tea why Graham is outside fixing handrakes/wing mirrors. gearboxes.Turbo's and SC's!!! Quote

You must spend as much time as me or more to have that many posts since March Lol Quote
4RE Leather Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 Just out of interest and off topic. How do you lot get a pretty picture of your motor on the bottom of your Posts? Duurrrrreeee Quote
coldel Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 You need to go to control panel, profile, your signature then insert image option - link it to something you have on photobucket or similar - oh and it can only be 800x200 pixels or something you need to check. Yeah I do love fiddling with my car a lot, probably too much actually it ends up looking like something put together from left overs of other cars Im also a naturally curious kinda bloke, hence my job as a researcher, so always gleaning everything and everyone for info Quote

4RE Leather Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 Got the same gear knob. But could not find a handbrake to match so got the titanium one from Richbrook. At least it has a cut out. The Leather is coming from same place as yours. Loads of colour:) Thenoname Quote
4RE Leather Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 Just got the custom leather gear and handbrake boots back from Redline. They are awsome. I will never go on ebay again:) Quote
4RE Leather Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 Just found out why non of my pictures will upload. I take them on my IPhone and they are to large so sorry guys I can't put any on. Thenoname Quote
4RE Leather Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 Think I need to stand further away then crop them down. What a time consuming excersise:( Quote
coldel Posted October 20, 2011 Posted October 20, 2011 Well...I ordered a momo matching gear knob to go with the handbrake I have and put it on last night, took me an hour and a half plus errors and things broken and swearing, just to put a gear knob on no way can I do a handbrake based on that lousy performance! Quote
4RE Leather Posted October 20, 2011 Posted October 20, 2011 I never had 2 much problem. I just put my hand under the boot and lifted up the panel. Pulled the boot up the gear leaver, and held it with vice pliers. Then put a tea towel on the gear nob and loosened it with a pair of swan necks. Unscrewed it and swapped it over with the new Nissmo one. However, not only does it rattle because i left the spacer or sleave in. It's as cold as hell in the morning to touch! Quote

I think you will be fine doing the handbrake. Just make sure you have the right tools, look at the pictures from Graham. If your warm and have no distractions you should be fine. Says me the most tempermental person I know:) Quote
