    Default hand brake cover vr

    i have a vr commodore and i always add and change things in it but the thing that has been getting on my nerves lately is the rubber handbrake cover. i want to put a nice one on it. ive looked in autobahn and supercheap but the only ones ive seen are too long to fit.

    does anyone know where i can find a shorter one or maby how i can extend the button one or two centremeters so its long enuf to be used with a slightly longer handle.

    You could always go a motor trimmer and get the cover convered in leather. That's what I intend to do with mine shortly.

    Just did the wife's, came up pretty good. Bought one for hers and one for mine (not pink) about 6 months ago but never got around to putting it on until today. Got them from eBay, think they were $12 each.

    Are you talking the grip or as above the cover section.
    If you are talking the grip why not replace it with a statesman/caprice leather one.
    Most wreckers have them, usually sell them with the leather bound Auto handle as a matched pair.

    im talking about the handle grip that you hold onto but if im gonna replace it i might as well get a nice sporty one the problem is there all a little too long to fit on the bar on my vr unless you lengthen the button but i dunno the easiest way to go at it i thought someone might know what shop i could pick one that would fit at
