Re: shift ***** and emergency brake handles recovered.
Ahh,that's a shame,it's really difficult to find the original leather.We can only get the cheap vinyl ones.
PS got your PM,Will be doing business soon.

Re: shift ***** and emergency brake handles recovered.
yeah if i did it you would be looking at $90 for 1 boot. Just not cost effectively worth it when you can get awsome leather looking and feeling vinyl for $10.

Re: shift ***** and emergency brake handles recovered.
I saw you were working on doing steering wheels. I have a spare Z28 wheel from an 86 that you can use for trial and figment work if you want. Shoot me a pm if so.

Re: shift ***** and emergency brake handles recovered.
Hey Matt. I am getting a TA shifter handle from another forum member. Can I just have him ship directly to you? Please PM me and see if we can work this out. Unless you have one already? And PM me the price as well please.

Are you doing steering wheels yet? I have an 85' 3 spoke wheel (no air bag) that needs to be recovered badly.

Re: shift ***** and emergency brake handles recovered.
The two items at the top of this page are mine. They are great! I originally wanted the round camaro shift ball but Matt sent me a firebird one. I ended up keeping the firebird **** as it fits in my hand better than the camaro one. Glad he made the mistake. I put my originals away so they don't get worn out. I like the blue thread. It goes well with my blue car. Thanks again Matt!

You know, I can't remember! I found someone on the internet. It is 100% perfect. Maybe a little thicker than OEM but it looks and feels GREAT!
The one on the right was my core. I wish I could remember who it was. It was several years ago.
I always hated the shifter and ebrake *****. Can't wait to get my new ones. They went out today.

Re: shift ***** and emergency brake handles recovered.
Received mine ! Damn their sexy! The leather is tight and it feels like this will last the life of the car. Great great work and I recommend to everyone to re-do their shifters with this man.
Thanks again for the great work!

They are in the garage and I'll snap a pic on my way out.
Question, I'm guessing I didn't get back my originals which is totally fine but, I took the black cover off the thumb plunger when I sent mine in. The one I got back has the cover. Are you now short a cover? If you are, I will send it to you to use on the mine (the one you have without the cover). Not sure if you even noticed or need it. Just thought I'd check.
Pics coming shortly!
Thanks again for a great product, fast service and a great price. Makes a huge difference. I'll post your info up on the third gen and Camaro Facebook groups I belong to.

Re: shift ***** and emergency brake handles recovered.
A little late now unless you could do a quick turn around but next winter I would be happy to loan you a steering wheel for a few months
Re: shift ***** and emergency brake handles recovered.
i have like 20 steering wheels as cores that i have to test things out on. It just takes time to sit down and work through all the little things that a steering wheel has. Doing this as a hobby has the limitation of time to work on new projects but because this is a hobby and not a buisness i keep my costs low and pass the savings onto you.

Re: shift ***** and emergency brake handles recovered.
I have a hurst **** now, but how much to just buy a ebrake one...black with blue stitching. I'm sure I can fine one to send you as a core, but I'd like to get it coming to me ASAP.
