How to make a tight fit on brakehandle?

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

Finally got a handbrake gaitor in leather that may fit.

Not, instead of being too big, the part that covers the handle itself, it really tight.

 

So, my question is this: What can I do to make it a little bit more loose, only while fitting it?

 

(so that it wil be real tight again after fitting).

 

Cheers,

Redfox.

if its just made out of leather then give it a light soaking in some hot water then give it a go, providing its not got plastic in there it should then stretch a lil,then just wait for it to naturally dry and shrink, or get the hair dryer/heat gun on it and being carefull not to burn it.

it should then return to its original size and give you the tight fit.
