DIY e-brake boot!
Inspired by sxk122, I made the trek to the fabric store and picked up some nice vinyl to play with. My mom let me borrow her ancient sewing machine (seriously, it's like a 1940 model), showed me how to work it, and I went to town...
After some trial and error, I finally pulled off the French seam and made a boot that fits quite nicely!
And, yes, that's a new IL Motorsport e-brake handle. Long story on that - they were on sale at Moss, but they sent me the wrong part (it must be for an NC). I made it fit, but they felt bad and gave me a further discount on the thing in the form of store credit. Good times!
Next project... shift boot...

Very nice work. You gotz skilz.
Looks very nice, congrats
The shift boot should be too much harder, 2 more seams than the e-brake boot.

Wow that looks nice. You should make some for the lazy people...like me.
I am impressed! Any chance of making more for the TCBs?

Very nice. I want a sewing machine now.... seat covers are next, right? :P
Luckily, I've got a "surplus" eff-up that I used as a pattern for the good one. I think I've got the method down, so if somebody seriously wants one, I might be able to catch that lightning in a bottle again. Cross yer fingers.
I'll be at the Wed Nite GTG if anybody wants to take a good look...
