Got a set of black leather handbrake and gearlever cover from this site. Both look good and have worn well. None listed at the moment, but if contacted they will probably list them.

Sorry dont have anymore covers left.

I've still got all my hand tools from 50 years in the Saddlery trade .. but I have got rid of my 45K walking foot Singer sewing machines .. and I would not fancy hand stitching now ..

There again .. I am more used to using 4-6mm Veg tanned bridle butts than thin .. chrome tanned Hide ..!!

I used these people who i bought a centre console arm rest cover and a few other bits and bobs. The stuff they sent did not fit my model but they took them back no problem whatsoever and asked me for the correct measurements with pictures and they would make me what I wanted.

Just drop them a line I am sure they will help you.

hi Mike
I'll have to natter with you some time...many years back, hand-carving leather and stitching the proper way was my hobby...quality stuff...reproduction leather, motorbike saddlebags, cases...only for friends and people who knew how long it takes to stitch nearly 1/2 " of leather ...I had been thinking of a rear-mounted spare for the Bongo, and a hand-carved and dyed wheel cover a la old school western pattern, but I'm not sure my hands would work ...ain't arthritis wonderful (still got all the tools!)
Cheers
Helen

After 50 years of cutting 4mm Bridle and 5-6mm Stirrup butts all by hand, with a plough gauge, my right hand / shoulder are feeling there age ..!!

Just go to their own website instead of their Ebay page and everything's listed: -

Thanks Izzy my new gearstick cover is just the job - but you was not luring me into buying any "Flashlube" off you - I really am not that type of guy
