Millsport do one. Comes with the gaitor about £70. Was thinking of getting one for my classic. If you do get one let us know what you think of it and how easy it was to fit..

I was looking for one of these for a pre 96 car, i rember seeing them in a motor world catalogue by richbrook but since then i havent seen them listed.

the one you made doesnt restrict the gear leaver movement does it? Looks like it would stop it going in to or making it hard to go into 1,2,5 and revers?

oi ive been drivin around in a rover 214 since crimbo an all ive had to listen too is tapes ...the only one i got left is the top gun soundtrack from 1986 ....so any unit that plays cds is ace in my book........also most of u dont care about head units its what it does that counts (mine is crap tho ur right lol)

Why worry what someone with 8 posts thinks? Your on a budget, most people on here would appreciate that. Unless I've missed them, get some pics up in 'Members Gallery' :thumb:

Everything I've done has been to a budget. One that my lass controls :mad:

Yea i was looking at those..are they worth the cash? Also do they replace, or fit over the original gaitor?

Fit over the original gaiter to retain the shape, but you'd never know the rubber thing was underneath. I'll have a look to see if I've got a pic of mine fitted.

Fits a treat although it is a little bit fiddly.
