Replaced the boot(s) (emerg brake/Shifter)
 
Purchased the leather kit off ebay. Very easy to do and it looks $%@& lots better. Took me under an hour to take off, glue and put back on. Very proud of it. The pleather crap looked aful and flaked off and everything. Had to get a leaf blower, open the doors and blow the crud out.
The disco is coming back to life...

Looks really good man. Eventually i'll get the black listed engineering plates/boots.

Snap, they are exactly the same as my replacements, black leather with white stitching. It took a couple of hours to replace them plus the glue setting overnight.

I found some on Amazon from "Tuning Shop, Ltd" a retailer in UK that were black with black stitching which I prefer. Same price range at $29.50.

Cheap price for a great looking fix.

I think that is the same kit I got off amazon but, I got cream color stitching. Easy to do with leather glue and a couple of clamps.

I put the high low on sideways as I was drunk and lazy and figured I had a 50/50 chance of getting it right. I lost that bet

awesome. I was eating dinner and gluing mine together. By some strange chance it came out the same. Mine did come off amazon, not ebay. I have ordered so much for my disco, was not sure where. You guys on this site are the reason my disco is looking better. Some awesome knowledge on this site.

Cheers

I’ve replaced em & I like the results however if ya peel off all the old crap (or wash it off) then dye the cloth remaining black for 1.50 they don’t look to bad either. It’s that flaking off goo that’s GROSS.
