Title: Hand Brake lever
Post by: Top Cat on March 01, 2010, 01:57:51 pm
2 questions chaps.

How to remove the cover. There is a small square looking tab on the underside. I am guessing that i have to bend this down a bit to release it. Is this correct.  :happy2:

Second question. I need to transfer the leather section with the stitching from one cover to another. Any ideas on how to release the leather from the actual cover it is attached to.  :happy2:
