Auto gear stick top wanted ....any condition (for a project)

Selling off one (or bits :o) of your XM collection, or perhaps searching for those elusive headlight washer covers? This is the place to do it.

I tried a local carpenter to make a new surround, but he gave up.

I ended up with a leather cover from Q&K Citroen Classics - they did a good job.

I would be interested in the end result of this project, though.
Any pictures of the result..?

That's looking rather good, Lee.
Do you know what they did/put under the leather covering?

They probably just glued the polyurethane foam back together, as aesthetics are no longer an issue.

You don't get the same one back, AFAIK, but the one I sent them back was intact and glued along the cracks. Once in that state, stretched leather would hold in place, I would think.

Their process for fitting the leather is very good.

If that's the price and yours is the result it doesn't really need any further work I'd say..
