Shifter Boots - Anyone in NZ that specialises in these?

[MrOizo]

As the topic.

I'm after having one made up for the Supra. Only place i have been able to find is something from the US: http://www.redlinegoods.com/productsToyota.shtm Awesome quality.
Can also do custom work which is what i am after also - only a minor modification.

Cheers!

Its only 4 pieces of leather with a ring sewn in the top... any upholsterer should be able to do it... theres a few around, marine and auto upholstery shops, can even re-trim steering wheels (but was around $250+ last time I priced it)...

I got one made for the MR2, like Looonie said, any place should be able to do it.

my mum made mine and it looked professional, so you can always try relatives first

[FXGTV]

Haha, imagine if people started pimp'n out their shifter boots
And after i read what you posted soven i couldn't help but think of a knitted tea cosey style boot

[MrOizo]

Yeah fair enough...
I'll have to ask my mum nicely

As for getting some decent leather, where can i get that from?

[barryogen]

go to the red light district in your local town, and there will be a place that specialises in "leather goods" they will be able to get you whatever you are after... including some high quality leather.

Either that or a place that makes leather jackets, or shoes.

hell, for the amount needed, they could probably give you offcuts.

I thought he was taking the piss about going to a red light district :/ but yeah - a group buy might be in order. will try to find a manufacturer locally.

No thanks. Just find them a little over priced unless you can do one for less than $30 liking the sound of the ones from redline (link in first post)

[xsspeed]

Pretty sure I've seen a leather shop up there, if not I know of two in Mt Eden near where I live

[barryogen]

heh, nah I wasn't taking the piss... one of the dodgier chicks here at work showed me some custom stuff she had made(don't ask, she's old enough to be my mother and I'm old as it is), it was fantastic, some of the best metal and leather work I've ever seen.

It seems that when going dodgy, quality is where its at

[xsspeed]

So you have seen a fair bit of metal and leather work??

[GTCRSHR]

leathersmiths in east tamaki, ask for graham,

or bennet auto upolsters (spelling)

if you cant find them let me know ill get the phone numbers,

both of them can do what you want,
