well what i found out was that if you have a tan handle, and its all f%^&$# up, you can carefully cut the leather wrap off to reveal a soft rubber like under coating, looks much better than the stock jacked up tan one, you can also do that to the shifter **** on pre 98 shifters,
heres some of the shifter with the leather cut off...
cool well my leather is in nice shape on the e brake handle and wouldnt want to take it off
I know what you mean is underneath though ive seen it on other cars.
Anyone found a cover for the e brake that look nice?
if leather is not in too bad a shape, you can always spray paint it (use fabric spray paint) looks ok in my opinion, it covers all minor defects on the leather
To put an aftermarket ebrake handle on you need to physically cut the old one off. It does not unbolt or slide off or anything. Infact a lot of cars that have hand brakes, you need to cut the leather wrapped handle off to put an aftermarket one on.
I like some of the momo ones, but they are pretty pricey.
any sort of tutorial on how to cut the e-brake handle off? like how to replace it if it doesn't screw on. I'm a bit lost on this. Any picture thread of someone doing it? or if someone is going to do it can they be sure to take plenty of pics?
Momo makes a really nice handle, I have one on my Supra and it works fine and looks good. Also comes with an E Brake boot that attaches to the back of the handle. Sorry I don't have a pic but you can check out their site.
You do have to cut off the stock handle, I used a razor knife, took about 10 min. and the new one is an easy install.
