just fitted mine took a while to get the rubber piece in the gear stick boot but just be patientk guys the leather will stretch with the heat of your hands.

looks very nice now Thanks pablo101

umm, fitted my gear boot fine, but the frame in the handbrake boot is flat - not the same as the original one which is bent???

Yep I had troubles with the hand brake boot, the original being convex at the ends. It ended up not fitting perfect but no one would be able to tell the difference just looking at it.

The gear boot had the arrangement of holes incorrectly punched in it for me, and one of the holes was half stitched over, easy to fix.

In the end they look soo.. much better, just like a new car, and real leather to boot.

Thanks for the gear pablo101

can anyone say how these boots compare to the $95 boots available on ebay from gaiter?

if they're better/equal/only a little bit worse i'm in.

never seen the ebay ones but these are very quality

Ill take some pics of the ebay Mr Gaiter ones, from the above pics though these group buy ones look to be better quality then the mr gaiter ones but you get to choose the colours with the mr gaiter ones. The Mr Gaiter ones are still real leather though and great quality.

shitty cam phone pics, they are real leather, delivery was within a week which is pretty good considering public holidays and sent from britain :)

anyway reason i was in here in the first place is i was wondering how you get the handbrake covers in? Do i just push it till the frame fits in the hole or do i have to remove some of the interior :X

na just push it in till its fits slide end towards arm rest the other end

it looks like you didnt take the rubber insert bit out of the gearstick boot and put it in the new one, i may be wrong though?

yea i left it in the old one, completly forgot about it :) . Does it serve a purpose?

Also putting in the handbrake cover, found bending the wire frame to the same shape as the original one made it fit a lot more flush

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
