Ive picked up a rubber boot for the Handbrake but cant seem to fit it around the Handbrake warning light switch. Has anyone got pictures of their set ups? Cheers.

If I go very quiet there's a very good chance I broke something.

All the ex police cars i have seen with the handbrake switch are missing their vinyl boot. Maybe they left them off? Interested to see what others say.

Maybe a later rover. Not an aussie MK1 or MK2 or clubman handbrake cover.

Here is what they looked like. A very simple flimsy piece of vinyl.

I have looked through photos of a dozen ex police MK2 S and Clubman GT cars and i can only see one that has a handbrake boot / gaitor fitted. However it had a full resto so that won't be a reliable indication.

Lots of Leylands have them fitted.

I will have a look through the Brochures and get back to you.

Edit, Mini K brochure does not have one

That's what I thought as well. Introduced on Clubman vehicles, not on round nose.

So you saw the ugly handbrake adjusters?

Can't remember what my original 70 S had back in 76......

So you can just see the bolts and cables etc? How bizzare. Its a clubby shape but mostly mini k parts i suppose. Anyone want the rubber boot then? It would fit except for the switch.
