Matching Hand Brake Boot - LotusTalk

Derek · 09-15-2004, 11:11 AM

I think the hand-brake looks a little bare without a leather boot covering the cogs. Does anyone make a boot that will match the perforated leather on the shifter boot and seats?

I want one, too. If anything falls in there, it will probably be tough to take it out. A leather boot would also protect from dust.

Aren't you worried about the weight?

Good point! Everyone wants to add stuff to the car. I'm removing all glass and unneccessary plastics this weekend by leaving my car out in the hurricane! I'm going to have the only 1600lb sandblasted 2005 Elise. (0-60 = 4.1)

If a couple of quarters get stuck in there, that will weigh more than a leather boot.

I know leatherZ has done work with perforated leather in the past. They made a perforated shift boot and e-brake boot for a Z3 owner a while back

Hangar 111 has this for £64.87.

Nathan, unfortunately that Hangar 111 part and the cf tunnel eliseparts have are for an s2. The back mounts flush to the aft bulkhead on the S2, the 111R and US cars have that pocket the shift tunnel mounts to.

I saw a full leather tunnel at LCU but don't know if it's fro the US car or not.

I also have seen that full cover. I think that a cover just for the hand-brake would be better still.

Dan · 09-18-2004, 11:36 AM

I don't want the full cover, just the hand brake cover.
