Handbrake and gear gaiters now available for automatics.
« on: 01 June 2020, 23:10:46 »
Evening.

As advised, I sent my gaiters off to the tuning shop on ebay, they have now copied the pattern and its for sale.
Quite a good job aswell. Mine is a facelift.

There was a debate on here about only manual being available, even though they are probably very similar.
They do however list it as Vauxhall Omega C.
Thought some of you might be interested.

Please can you tell me, do you have a link to the listing or company website/FB page?

I saw this and thought it was a joke as I’d literally just posted a minute before on the subject 🤣

However going on to eBay I see the items, distinguishable as they bare for the Omega C lol

Are these any good with easy fitment?

yes. You'll need a few minutes with glue and a sharp blade.

...and Anihalator is sending me a new “S” button.

I was going to try and refurbish my old one as a spare (I get really greasy and dirty at work so can totally see this happening again)

What do u reckon... a careful “S” tippexed followed by lacquer? Or maybe an S from a stationeries shop.

Presumably you know what it does, so clean it, wrap it and refit it.

And wear gloves :D

Tippex, nail varnish or any form of hand applied painted letters will look pretty c**p in my opinion. I'd get the surface as smooth as possible, find a similar white S in a stick on letter set, and then laquer it with a non solvent based laquer. With a light polish when dry would look infinitely better.
It not as if you are trying to match other letters near to it, so a slightly different font won't matter.
A chap on a galloping horse and all that.....
Just my thoughts of course.
