Thread: Leather Gaiters Handbrake & Transfer.

Done. This is the link.

I'm sure a google search would throw up some additional "tutorial" type threads on other LR forums.

I found clothes pegs were good for keeping the glued down bits compressed. Super 66 glue is what I used.

I also bought a black leather console cover as mine was worn a bit. That won't require gluing if you make use of drawing pins for keeping the edges from pulling out. Yet another use for drawing pins.

Have fun. Don't forget to sniff the new leather bits a few times to make the most of the experience.

Excellent - thank you so much for that.
Will put that down for my Friday lunchtime job - to start it anyway.

RAVE says put it in 'D' and remove........ How? Is it on a thread - twist? Do you need to hold the selector/lock button in at the same time?

Remove selector surround - just lever off?

I imagine once this is off and the wood just gets levered off to give me access it should be ok.

Any other tips to save me breaking something or taking 3 hours when it should take 30 miuntes?

The shift knob: pull vertically do not twist - it takes some force and don't have your face over it when it comes off!

Selector surround: lever up taking care not to damage the surround or your 'wood' veneer. Same for the trim...
