MikeC Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Hi, Just thought id share this guide i wrote with you all. Last week i changed the cracking synthetic leather gear and handbrake gaitor for a nice fresh new one, however my armrest was also cracking and as it didnt match the new leathers i opted for a real leather replacement from a reputable ebay company. Anyway i have attached my guide with pics. Please let me know what you think, as ive always been one of those people who use forums for everything but never really contribute, so i hope this helps someone.

A Bathing Ape Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 Great guide Mike, really need to do this to get rid of several fag burns! Can I ask what ebay seller you used? and also when you put the new cover did you apply glue all over the foam or just at the edges? Cheers, G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bungers Posted October 27, 2012 Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 I got mine from topgaiters on ebay, I've used them before for my 205. The quality is excellent and is actual leather, unlike the satandard items http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/topgaiters?_trksid=p2047675.l2559 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
