Default Made a new high/low shifter boot.

(Hm, apologies if the photos are enormous.)

Was sick of looking at the old ratty one.

Simple to do. Pulls off, strip it down and use as a template, thin leather from Marshalls, stitch with leather needle and strong thread, glue it to base, little rubber ring to secure to shift ****, snap it back in place.

The small victories are often the most pleasing.

Nice work! It looks great and will probably outlast your vehicle.

It reminds me of Harry Potter for some reason. Nice craftsmanship!

Pic of the E brake one? I’ve replaced the ones for one of my D2s but will probably need to do it for the other one, and this seems pretty cool.

On my Alveston I did these:

Amazon Amazon

Just over $20 and it’s real leather, but I’m always open to DIY stuff.
