Leather gaiters

Schotten · 17th May 2021, 11:03

Hi there, was about to purchase matching leather gaiters for handbrake and manual gear stick from these guys:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GREY-STIT....m46890.l49286

Has anyone used them before, and what about the colour match? My Connie is ash grey, the gaiters come in black and charcoal grey. Thoughts?

Regards

I've bought several sets in black with grey stitching. They are very good quality not expensive and look good on the car. None of my tatty originals were leather so can't comment on match for OE but at the price you really can't go wrong if replacing torn originals.

Had them for years, good quality

Bought a black gear lever gaiter from them for a 200 recently - beautifully made, perfect fit in the console and very well priced - highly recommended

I've had these for several Rover 75s and they are very good quality. The cars have all happened to be Ash grey/smokestone trim, and the leather items I bought were described as black. I don't recall seeing any described as charcoal grey. See pic.

Ok thanks for the comments, order placed for black (correct there is no charcoal option!) with grey stitching. Will post pics when arrived!

I've had my sandstone gaiters fitted for a few years now & can't imagine going back to the original black. Very good quality.
