Finally, some car work…
As I continue to work my way through piles of paperwork, I've now reached two bags of shredding.



But the good news is that I've finally got all my records for the taxman nicely sorted out.



As this tidying up work really is as boring as it sounds, I figured I'd now earned a break.

So I unwrapped the car.



Looking at the handbrake lever, I need my gaiter arrangement to cover the cable too.



My current plan is to cover that with an oversize aluminium panel, which will have a curve in it, something like this.



This way, I can have a much smaller leather section.



Which, based on the lessons learned from the gear lever, will be made up of four pieces.



Note:
By this point, I had to move into the porch to work, as the wind was blowing my stuff all over the place.

The first trial fitting highlighted the fact I had not shaped the material properly.



Although part of the problem is this bracket at the top of the lever.
( Which is where the handbrake warning light switch was attached. )



As I don't need this, I think I will cut it off before I rearrange the material into a neater shape.

But that will be a job for another day, so until next time, take care, Paul.
