barf u'll have to shave your handbrake handle a bit with a knife to get it to fit.

I just cut the old rubber one out, I've see member fitted handbrake sleeve without removing the old one, & it just looks weird, as they don't fit in properly, especially the bottom leather section.

k i'll cut it off. if its a bit loose i guess i can use tape over it to give it a tight fit

my sleeve from KMC, i had to screw it on... (e.g screw it into the plastic so to speak)

it completely buggered up the black plastic but also made it a really tight fit..... with a leather sleeve on the bttm it looks really good...

So thats what the screws are for

i got an isotta handbrake. i just filed the old one down until it just fit. Its perfectly centered and doesn't wobble at all.
