#1 gear lever gaiter

Post by malcolm » Mon Apr 07, 2014 10:40 am

The leather gaiter around the gear lever joins at the top to a chrome ring - mine has all come out so the chrome ring just flops around the top of the gaiter. Anyone tried to feed it back in with success?

hi

I think you should have a plastic/nylon type inner cone to the chrome ring

It has a male thread and traps the leather between it and the chrome ring, which has a female thread

hope that helps

Think I'll need to get my glasses and magnifying glass out for a better look then. Thanks for that!
