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?

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'

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

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.
