Alcantara supplier

Shake&Bake · 11-06-2009, 11:54 AM

I have been on to CA regarding a few bits and bobs for the car.

I was hoping to get a nice alcantara gaiter for the gearleaver and handbrake, however they can only supply the gaiter for the handbrake and that is being sourced in the US. Does anyone know where I could get these in the UK. Tried a google search but not a whole lot came up.

Thanks for reading.

Simpson motorsport had one of these for the csl, not sure which but think it was the handbrake gator, was a while ago i seen it but worth a look.

If you are after the fabric then you can source it from Gulf Fabrics in Florida (I am sure you can source it out Europe too, but the guys out there don't seem to know what colour code it is) - US$99.95 per yard plus shipping (cheaper if you buy more I imagine). Chat to Joe there (he's very slow with email, but very reliable)

It comes in two types, non seating and seating - colour code for the CSL is Alcantara #9002.

I am just getting some shipped over to me right now for some random little projects I've got in mind.

In a previous life I got some off ebay to retrim some sills on a Lotus. Lots of different types and quality though.

Thanks for the responses folks, if anyone know where I could source prefabricated gaiters I would be thrilled, failing that I shall contact gulffabrics thanks for the tip on the alcantara code as well NZ_M3.
