Fitz Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Is there anyway of replaceing the handbrake leather handle grip? Or is it a whole new lever that is needed? Same thing I have been thinking of recently, the handbrake lever/gaitor have seen better days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devan Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Me too, ive posted a few times about this, but no difinitive answers. I had a go at trying to get the handle part off last night, but it wasnt going anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 The handle cannot be removed without ripping the thing off. If you want to buy a complete replacement hand brake lever the Toyota part number is 46201-14280-C2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackso11 Posted April 14, 2010 Author Share Posted April 14, 2010 any ideas how much they usually cost nic? I don't really want a momo one, I have replaced my gear knob with a brand new one from toyota so want matching new leather on the hand brake. Would like a new oem steering wheel too (airbag type) but guess that would cost a lot. Then again I guess I would only need the wheel as the airbag is in good condition.

devan Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Im also after a new handbrake cover, and steering wheel - both OEM, but like you said jackso11, it will cost a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 any ideas how much they usually cost nic? Not sure there, but I use to supply the hand brake assembly for around £40-50 delivered. ps. I'm not trading at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds like a good price, ill probably be getting one of these when you resume trading Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodilx6 Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 I seem to remember it being more like the 100£ now, but stil, that is a nice price. You probably won't save a lot on getting the handle done by some leather upholstery shop. Unless you got someone who is good at stitching leather and glue... Shouldn't be the biggest problem in the world. I'm also looking for an alternative as replacing the complete assembly just seems a bit excessive no matter what the cost. Revarding a cheap option for a wheel. Look for 01-05 RAV4/Celica wheels from scrapyards. They are a direct fit and look much like the TRD wheel. They are without cruise (this can be added relatively cheap). If you can live without the airbag, toyota will supply a plastic cover for the center of the wheel. You can get these very cheap in plastic (a fried of mine payed roughly 30£) and get it fitted with leather or get a wheel originally in leather.
