Re: leather shift **** pattern
I bought an Ebrake handle and a shifter **** with blue stitching from fierolover and they came out very nice. He is very reasonable too. Even If I knew how to do it myself I would just have him do it. It was that cheap.

Re: leather shift **** pattern
i think i can, if you could put a ruler or something acrossed the biggest part ... and it should just be a mirror for the other side, so one side should do it ... i sure would thank you if you could do that

Re: leather shift **** pattern
i am going to give it a try, i have a few bucks coming soon, going to buy a yard of leather and see what happens ... want to try to wrap my dash with all french seams too, just not sure how to get the leather stretched over the dash when it is all sewn

Re: leather shift **** pattern
Are french seams the type hidden behind the fabric? That be tough to do on the dash.I think the foam would bend if you stretch the leather too tight.
When i finished my shifter/e-brk.They were i bit loose.So i ran them under warm water for bout 6-7 min, then patted the excess water out.Let em dry away from heat/sun for a few days.After a week or so, & more so later on, the leather shrunk.Leaving them nice & tight, no wrinkling or warpage.
