Rhd Xm Auto gear lever rubber covering

[Dieselman]

Xm automatic gear lever covers eventually split and fall off, but currently there is no replacement available for Rhd versions. Current options are either to live with it, have a leather cover made, make a wood cover, or fit a hard plastic knob.

Is anyone interested in a synthetic rubber cover to replace the original cracked one? This is a slide over cover that fits and feels like the original. The only difference being it would have to have a lightly pimpled surface, rather than the original elephant skin/leather finish.
The material should be more durable than the original.

There is a setup cost to have a mold made, so I expect costs to work out at about £75 per cover.

If people are interested I'll see about having a mold created and some made.

This looks like an interesting idea to achieve a factory finish.

As a cheapskate solution, I have had reasonably good results filling cracks and refixing broken off pieces using black Sikaflex 221. See photos.
