There a guy on ebay selling them, just around the corner from me. So i had one.

Fantastically well made with perfect stitching. Well worth the £15... I'll look for a pic. I did mod it a lil tho..

Will take you a pic tomoz, Cause they are leather and all floppy, i cut the top off a std one, so it was just a base, then glued the leather one too that to keep it's shaft at the bottom. As when the leather fell down it would block gear stick movement...

I've recently worked on a similar issue. Saxos don't come with handbrake gaiters so I used a pattern from a BMW 3 series and it fitted fine.
