    There's a plastic or metal trim ring/bezel that holds the brake boot down and snaps into the console. If you wrap the boot around this and snap it into place it will be OK as long as you don't get crazy with it.

    What car would this be for? I have the OEM E30 handbrake pattern, my boot is an exact fit for our cars. I am not currently offering E34 fittments but would be open to making something up. I just need the OEM boots for dimensions.

    Edit: I have done custom sizes and am learning the tricolor stitching. Good stuff is in the works!

      It is for my e30. The dimensions should be the same except the leather handle itself is shorter than the e30's plastic handle by an inch or 2. thus the boot's neck will have to be elongated to compensate. I'll try to snap a pic. Do you do custom stitching too such as mtech colors?

        So the handbrake lever is 2" shorter? The way the boot is designed has about an inch folded inside, you may be able to tuck more to account for the length difference. Please email me a pic and we'll get it figured out.

        I'm learning the tricolor stitch used on steering wheels and can do the regular stripes no problem. I haven't determined the charge for custom stitches yet though.

              Is there a light blue Burberry fabric available? Doesn't have to be Burberry, just light blue/dark blue plaid I guess...

                I think maybe, let me check my supplier. If you want a regular blue tartan plaid I can likely grab some this weekend.

                  I'll be interested to see how that second plaid pattern looks installed. I'm thinking I want to get a set but can't decide on a pattern....

                    so here's pics of the handle difference. e36/e34 leather handle in comparison to the e30 one. It's about 3.5" difference



                    regarding stitching, I was referring to something like this:

                      My goal is to have installed pics tonight.

                      I gotcha, I think there's enough material to fit that short handle. The E30 one sticks into the boot a decent amount.

                      I am learning the criss-cross pattern and can do the regular stripes no problem. I have a thread in the interior section with my first attempt at the criss-cross and will be posting another pic tonight with a better looking attempt.

                        Installed Burberry pics below. The brake boot is only set in place, my handbrake is frozen so I can't do pics with it raised. Hoping I can resolve this weekend.

                        Pricing is $25 for one boot $40 for the set, shipping included.

                            Any interest in mtech cloth? I need 2 confirmed at $50 shipped for a set before I pull the trigger on the material.

                                I went to a couple fabric stores and there are more blue plaid patterns than I thought possible. Can you email me a picture with something close to what you're looking for? My email is fuzzfabrics@gmail.com
