mrobins64495 Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Hi all, I can't find any where to buy one, I thought ford accessories might have one but they don't. I just think having one without a cover looks crap, even a vauxhall has one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartynS Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Hi, What year/mk is your car? european-parts for example has one for the mk7: mk7 leather handbrake I couldn't agree more about the looks; I'm not a fan of the basic plastic covers - I added the interior pack primarily for the black leather cover!

mrobins64495 Posted December 29, 2010 Author Share Posted December 29, 2010 Perfect! Just what I was looking for.... Mine is a MK 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TroodoN Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 152 euro is a quite expensive for just a cover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark t Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Just go to your local dealer, am ask at parts. You should be able to get just about every part to build a new one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coysht Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 There's a guy on e-bay who has just started selling leather handbrake gaitors which fit over the top of the existing plastic cover for less than £20 - so that you keep the main plastic handle section, but the rest is all nice leather. I've got one due in the post any day (he made the gaiter from my handbrake) so I'll post some pics when it arives and I've fitted it., and a link.

Would also appreciate seeing how it looks, whislt the offical one looks good, that is jsut a complete and utter rip off for what it is. Do you have a link?

coysht Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Finally got round to fitting my handbrake cover: Looks OK and I'm not sure if it will wear along the sides where it touches the centre console. Tempted to try and find a leather and alloy handle to replace the plastic bit and then just use this leather cover has a gaiter - need to find out if the handle from a Ka or Focus would fit. This is a link for the leather cover I have: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FORD-FIESTA-MK7-08-HANDBRAKE-GAITER-black-stitching-/350422782598?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item5196d35286 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S666LER Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Too be fair thats not a bad job, and too me looks like it slids over the top of the plastic cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats right - you could probably fit it without removing anything at all, but to make sure it fitted right I look the top off the centre console (its all clip fittings) and then fitted the leather cover directly over the plastic one and put it all back together.

dannyhilton Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Hi all, I can't find any where to buy one, I thought ford accessories might have one but they don't. Hey fella. Did you end up getting one for European Parts? I tried a few months back but got told that they don't make the black covers in RHD anymore? Be great to know if you were able to get one as I'd love to fit it in my car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
