It's about as simple a mod as you can get mate ;-) depending upon the actual gaiter you may not even have to remove the gearknob, but there are a lot of different styles. I have recently seen pics where people have left the rubber gaiter in place so that it keeps the leather offering up and that seems to look a lot better to me and obviously easy for you

Take it out to the car offer it up and I reckon within 10 mins tops you will be sporting a new leather gaiter ;-)

I know it seems dumb, but :lol: , Knob just unscrews and the just remove the surround and fit over the top

 

Yeah i can get pics up they are not the greatest though

 

OK thanks guys, I have got instructions from the suppiler, looks easy :roll:

 

The mod bug eh Rob :lol:

Did you get the cable ordered?

 

Well I have done it Hardest part was lining up the holes.......... BUT......

Colour match!! [smiley=bigcry.gif]



Will this tone down or should I be going back to suppiler, I know the car is 8 years old and you won't get a perfect colour match but I did order a denim blue and the flash is on the camera

Over to the experts.......

Neil, no not got the cable yet, gently does it :lol:

 

Have been on to them and going to get it changed to a black one.

They did say they would excahnge for a darker blue, but after fitting think black would be best.

Starting the get the mod urge, note to self, put wallet away

 

Looking good Rob.

Did you leave the rubber gaitor under the leather one as mentioned by Charlie?

I looks better as the leather does not disappear down the hole!

 

LOOKS GREAT ! MATE.
MORE MEETS MORE MONEY
RICH

 

Didn't leabe the rubber underneath, but think I will when I refit the black one when it turns up, to see what looks best.
I kind of like the drop in look :roll:

Will let you all know how I get on.

Charlie, think I will be sending you a long list soon :roll:

 

LOL Rob I look forward to hearing from you buddy ;-)

Charlie

 

mate please where did you get the gator from and is it a good match on colour???

 

Just seen the pics mate....not an exact match is it.... [smiley=bigcry.gif]

 

The match is a mile out [smiley=bigcry.gif] He did say he had a darker colour, but not tacking the risk, plus the knee pads are black, so going back to black.

Gator was from e-bay, very quick service and the after sales has been good, no quibble about changing it over. Was charged extra for a blue one :x

T ROB T

 

PM me if you want the suppliers name

 

Hi Rob,

Did you by any chance get it from Top Gaiters on ebay?

I have black leather gear gaiter with red stitching which now sits perfectly.

The first one I recieved had too many holes and I had to bunch 2 holes together
to fit it and then it wasn't flush and looked wrong....However I explained the problem
and sent them a diagram of exactly what I wanted and they sent me another free of charge
and it fitted spot on.

Message me your email addy and I will do my best to help you.

Cheers

 

Yes from top gators. I too had one too many holes, but one lined up with the little lug and a bit a gigging it fitted well.

On to the next mod :roll:
