PM this guy,he does beautiful work.

 

thank you, but i am just looking for the pattern to make my own, wife through out the old cover the one time she cleaned out the car

 

Really this guy has many varieties

 

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.

 

 

i know they dont cost much, but i want to make mine

 

I made my own as well w/ perforated leather.I think i have the OE leather that i used as a template.Can you make a pattern from a post pic?

 

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

 

Well, here's what i have.Thought i still had the leather, but it was beat.Made this using the OE piece, its a bit oversized.I used to make mine though.

 

cool, and that left enough for seams and to tuck the ends in? i am going to do a french seam on my shifter and e brake ... and btw, what shift **** do you have?

i have this shape

Crap, never even occurred to you may have the later style.Ive got the round one, but i do have the leather e-brake.That one is in good shape.

 

i thought so, dang it ... i still have the e-brake ... your's sure turned out nice though

 

That is sooo nice...

 

Thanks, Only guy i could find locally wanted $110.So i did it myself.Have you tried just laying a piece of cloth over yours & make a pattern from that?

 

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

 

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.

 

this is a french seam ... http://s3.amazonaws.com/thmb.inkfrog...9815.jpg/600/0 ... it is not a good one, but you get the picture

 

Thats what i started doing on my shifter boot, but gave up left they way it is.
