Styling Is handbrake leather possible?

[Craig830]

Well I've found the reason my handbrake didnt want to go down.

As I completely hate the plastic look anyway, has anyone ever fitted a leather gaiter to the bravo handbrake?

Im thinking I may be able to fabricate a fit using a stilo gaiter.

Any ideas or tips before I start?

I'd not bother: yes it's possible, but there will be a lot of leather bunched up when not pulled. i'd hate that.

Just get it replaced, and it will be fine for another 10 yearshttps://www.partsworld-uk.com/products/handbrake-trim-bravo-2007-2014:


P.S. the plastic trim you made looks like it's a bit long, you can see where it was bending... i did mine the same way.

Cheers for that aurick, the ones I'd seen were more than twice the price. For 20 quid I'll just replace it
