I have relocated my FFR e-brake to the top of the tunnel, but I am struggling to find a boot that might fit. I bought a Lokar kit, and whilst the chrome bezel fits, the leather boot does not.
Has anyone managed to find one that fits? Any pics/sources would be really helpful.
Thanks guys.
Ian

I (my wife actually did the sewing) made my own boots for the shifter and e-brake so that the vinyl matched what I used for the dash (did not use FFR supplied padded dash). I created some models using paper, and then my wife cut and sewed some using old fabric. It took a couple of iterations, but I also had quite a bit of leftover material from the dash so not a big deal. Really not that hard if you know someone that sews. You just need to work out the basic shape and pieces needed and then trial and error to get it completed.

Thanks Dan. Don't suppose you have the template and mind sharing it?

I made my boot from leather. I also tried to use the Lokar boot but didn't fit so I used it as a pattern to enlarge it where needed. It took a couple of tries to get one that worked.
