Gear Gaiter Thanks Rhon

Post by midenginedmaniac »

Well rhons service is as good as I remember.

Removed the tatty gaiter and blue knob.

Polished the knob back to mirror ally and fitted the new gaiter.

So much work to do on it. :D

How did you attach it to the metal wire frame?

I bought one around christmas (thanks again for the free shippin Ron :D) and couldn't get it right at all. Took it to the shoe repair shop arround the corner who attached it properly for 5€

The gaiters just glue on. You need to keep a few bulldog clips handy, and leave an overlap of about 1 - 1.5 cm. Dry fit it first and then use a universal contact adhesive to glue the suede sides together around the wire frame :) Easy when you know how :)

I spent more than an hour sewing it in. First time I ever sewed anything & it worked out perfectly. Wish I'd thought of contact adhesive.
