Which glue to use on handbrake gaiter ?

Bullnose75 · 27th March 2019, 14:06

Am going to be replacing the handbrake gaiter on the Tourer soon with a new leather one. What's the best glue to use to stick the leather to the plastic base bit ?
I was just going to use Evo stik impact adhesive,that be ok ?

If it has to be glued on, then an impact adhestive will be fine. Ensure to follow the makers instructions, which can vary.

gorilla glue very good just check with the makers that it dont burn the leather but i dont think it does

Ok guys,think i'll give the Evo stik a go,says it glues cork,leather,plastic etc so should be ok. Looks a bit of a fiddly job but needs doing as factory fitted gaiter has big holes in it !

I have to do the same thing. I've had the new ones for months but it looks such a fiddly job I keep putting it off.
Maybe tomorrow

Just been to Screwfix to get some Andy,old tin had dried up. Will attack the gaiter in the morning. Then I can fit that handbrake handle grip I got from you.
Removing the old walnut effect handle needed feats of strength ! Man it was well stuck on there,lol. Got it off eventually though after twisting and pulling it a bit at a time

Some handbrake levers and gearknobs can be a right royal pain to remove!
