DEL VR6 0 Posted March 19, 2007 those plugs, I only know them as: "the ones Vince plugs his stuff into when you go to a rolling road" Sorry i cant be more accurate. Assuming they are for fault diagnosis. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

khurrado 0 Posted March 19, 2007 So, does anyone know how to re attach the leather to the gear knob. I cant seem to get the circlip off. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Goldie 2 Posted March 19, 2007 What do you need to know then khurrado, how to attach the leather to the metal ring at that top or at the plastic surround??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DEL VR6 0 Posted March 19, 2007 So, does anyone know how to re attach the leather to the gear knob. I cant seem to get the circlip off. I would have thought you need an unusual set of pliers.. this these? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
khurrado 0 Posted March 19, 2007 ok the gear knob has come loose from the leather. I am restitching it now(or trying). I notice thta the leather attaches to the gear knob via a plastic ring at the bottom of the gear knob. How on earth do i get the leather back in there.

Goldie 2 Posted March 19, 2007 To attach it to the ring, i dont know whether you can, it may be knackered. The ring on my gaitor is metal and it looks (from memory) like the leather is inserted and then it is pressed.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
khurrado 0 Posted March 19, 2007 job done, please lock. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jay2 0 Posted March 29, 2007 My gaitor's got a metal clip at the top. How do I attach it to my new gear knob? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dinkus 10 Posted March 29, 2007 If you've got a Momo knob, they do a ring that screws into the bottom of the knob and the gaitor ring clips into. Otherwise, I don't think you can :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jay2 0 Posted March 29, 2007 Nope, got a new Corrado one from the Stealers. Bugger. :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Goldie 2 Posted March 29, 2007 There are 2 grooves on the gearknob (below the leather).. You should be able to get a plastic circlip that holds the gaitor to the knob... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Bowen 1 Posted March 29, 2007 the gaitor is pressed into a little bronze coloured ring, the plastic bit of gearknob slides thru centre of that and then the circlip clips on, holding the gaitor up Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
