brum Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 My dang e-brake leather has come unglued. Besides the $500 carbon fiber one. Does anyone know of replacement ebrake handles? I have a black delrin shift knob so no crazy colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSiWRX Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Since your original leather is already coming apart, you might be amenable to what I did.... I grafted on a MOMO PitStop, one of their faux-wood deals (it matches the faux in my Ltd. decently well) handle. The process was destructive - I had to cut/grind away much of the leather on the factory handle. Since yours is already coming off, I figured that this wouldn't bother you much..... You'll also have to somehow come up with a way to extend the factory e-brake release-switch/button. I did it by using one of those rubber adapter grommets that came with some of my past slip-on shift-knobs, just pasting it in-place using 3M Automotive Trim/Molding tape, overtop the factory button. The final thing you'll need is a shift-boot with a collar that'll cover the one on the MOMO. RedLineGoods should still have the pattern that I had them custom-make - but if you are using a different unit, you may have to send the handle to them, to have them custom-design something to fit your unique application. <-- I love Winky, my "periwinkle" (ABP) LGT! - Allen / Usual Suspect "DumboRAT" / One of the Three Stooges '16 Outback, '16 WRX, 7th Subaru Family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTurabus Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 I ordered the shift boot and e brake boot for my old 2005 LGT Limited. Definitely an upgrade from stock. http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/genuine-italian-leather-shift-boots-custom-made-your-car-84251.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brum Posted October 6, 2010 Author Share Posted October 6, 2010 Yeah since it's porous leather I don't want glue seeping out everywhere. I might try the 3m spray adhesive in small amounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
