Where to get a complete gear gator including the plastic bobbins?

[3ll]

Hey guys, 

 

I have recently picked up my 2005 Focus Estate and the gear gator is damaged, from what I can see there is some sort of plastic clip that goes around the base of the leather sleeve and this then clips the sleeve into the plastic housing on the base.

The previous owner appears to have tried to repair this with staples! This is the bit im struggling with, I can find loads of eBay sellers who are selling just the leather sleeve part, but what I need is the leather sleeve with the fittings that I can then clip into place on the base. 

 

Anyone have any ideas where I can get these?? 

 

Cheers, 

 

Ell.

The original gaitor is stapled to the black plastic ring from factory.
The lift reverse gaitors are harder to source than the non-lift model but should still be some on eBay etc.

Is the black plastic ring still in one piece, if so will it not clip back into the chrome piece?

This ^

If that doesn't work try the usual places  - online auction sites etc.

I had to replace one on my MK3 recently and that's where I got it from.

Not sure what the rules on links are (still a newbie :-)) but the above might help you if you need to replace it.
