I’ve replaced my black plastic sliding parking brake handle cover twice now, and it’s already cracked again. I never liked the plasticy sliding sound when pulling the handle, and always thought the cover looked cheap. Not to mention when it’s cracked.
I am a hobby leather worker and have made a shift boot for my buddy’s 240z in the past. I’m considering making a parking brake handle boot to match the shift boot i plan on making too.
Has anybody seen or own some sort of custom leather parking brake boot? I’m curious to see pics for inspiration. I’ve seen plenty of custom shift boots.
The pictures attached sort of show what I have in mind (though mine would be black leather with black thread). When I get around to making it I’ll upload a pattern to the forum for yall!
I think that would be nice if you could somehow figure out how to attach it so that it was attached at the bottom in a way that it all slides in unison in the groove that is in the parking brake housing/console. While you are at it, might as well go ahead and customize the rest of the interior to match that cool upgrade, like on this one:
Just curious were the replacement slides aftermarket or GM parts ?
I have and sold some NOS ones and advised the purchaser to warm them when installing and to wipe them with silicone or Armour type stuff to tray and make / keep them pliable
Custom parking brake boot?
