finally got it delivered and fitted, thought it would be easy but turned out to be a bit more complicated.
easy to get out, just lift up ashtray and get ur fingers behind the gear gaitor surround and pull up, it is a bit tough but it is only four clips that hold it in.
these two pics are the clips that hold it in place
pull it all the way up and over so you can get good access to the clip
the clip is similar to a jubilee, there is like a metal bit the is holding it in place, i bent it straight and unclipped it, when i put it back on i didnt fit one, it feels fine but i will be getting a jubilee clip soon. once this is undone, just pull it off
there are then four lugs which hold the gear gaitor surround in place, i pushed them in two at a time, top then bottom
as you can see they are both different sizes, i then started to panic at this stage so went back on the page where i got it from and it said that for this to fit an 8p some modification might have to be might like changing the bracket.
so i started to unclip all the staples
here you can see how much difference there is
for the new gear leather to fit around the existing bracket i had to cut the holes longer to fit around the clips.
once i got it around the bracket, i fitted the original staple back in to hold it in place.
once this is done, just slide it back in and clip it into place
new one fitted
old one
