Styling Fitting handbrake handles
Most of them just don't fit as the Bravo/a bits are square underneath and round ones don't fit :bang: There is a Momo one that does, not sure which model it is though. A few have gone for the option of replacing or painting (Dylon leather paint) the gaiter and using a £5 plastic cover on the handbrake itself.
The old round peg in a square hole senario!
usually you slip the handbrake handle cover over the original one, then tighten 2 grub screws using an allen key. it literally takes 2 mins.
if you find the original handle is too big to slip the new one over it, you can cut strips of rubber off the original one to make it more round. a sharp knife does this with ease.

it doesnt fit over the button, it simply pushes against it. you slot the new handle on as far as it will go, then the button is in the correct position and will work.
i had to use a stanley and cut my old one off, easiest way to do it was to cut straight down teh middle and then my momo one fit straight over the top of the square shaft thats left 
if it all goes wrong you can always fit a scrapyard handbrake lever easily enough. access to the bolts is easy with the centre console removed so there's really nothing to worry about, get stuck in

something i should have been doing for years. it would be one hell of a collection by now, probably worth a few quid too.
