out of all the lc gtr's we have seen and worked on they tuck under the carpet..from factory

no wire or anything just tuck under the carpet

[boomfunk]

i honestly think the same ^^^ as when i first seen them..i asked so what goes over the top of that to hold it down...


nothing, bit strange !!

[boomfunk]

how much to make me one a handbrake cover to suit lj, we dont have any of those so if your offering

and also if you got them..gear shift cover suit lj...vinyl doesnt matter as they will be used as a template, so even the cheapest vinyl you got would be good

^^ our upholstorer just finsished making the handbrake boot and gear shift boot for my old mans XU-1, did a pretty dandy job too. we supplied him with the old ones, he made a pattern and whipped em up.

[boomfunk]

and have you still got the old ones.......

[orangeLJ]

yeah, pretty sure we do. we stil have everything that was originally with the car, from the original bumpers, to the original hoodlining (although it is still in good knick its being used to recover the sunvisors)

why do you ask??

[boomfunk]

well we will see what the other fella ^^^ comes up with and if thats no good then i wouldnt min getting some patterns for both the hand brake and gear...i think gear shift maybe same as lc but not sure.

i dont see why not.

[boomfunk]

Lc870, thank you but thats too expensive, im not concerned about stitch spacing and thread, or even vinyl, they can be made from canvas

im using it as a pattern to sell our own....

orangelj, would it be possible to organise something with those original patterns you got, even it you sent them to me them i copied them and sent them back?

or if you made a pattern for me and sent it,

[orangeLJ]

yeah i will see what i can do, we put the new boot in last night, the old one doesnt have the "tail" people mentioned that went down to the seatbelts, but it was glued in around the edges, and from what we know was factory like it.

[boomfunk]

oh ok, lj has to have the tail from factory...bugger !!

dont worry i will keep looking

thank you for your time orange

[orangeLJ]

no worries mate, it has a small tail, but as i said, not one that runs back to the seatbelt bolt.

good luck with it.

Hi

If the handbrake cover was under the carpet and fixed to the floor in some way - how do you adjust the handbrake without it being a major operation?

Just a thought.

[orangeLJ]

wasnt like permanently glued, looked like some form of contact adhesive. and how often do you adjust your handbrake??

that contact adhesive stuff stays fairly maleable for ages, so it can be pulled up and stuck down (although not as efective as the first ime) a few times.

im not saying it was factory, but definitely looked it, the car has been off the road since 1982.

[orangeLJ]

we got the hole in our carpet trimmed with a vinyl edge, just didnt like the "hacked out" look that some have.

never seen anything like that but ^^
