“Complete waste of money, I canÆt even use it since it wonÆt even come close to fitting into the handbrake itself after fighting with it for about 15 minutes. Even if it had fit the design doesnÆt count for the small metal column to keep the original handbrake sleeve secure.”

“Wonderful product, it's a tight fit so make sure the handbrake shaft is clean with no residue, mine had some old glue on which needed a light sanding first. Use a a pair of pliers on the shaft made fitting the sleeve easy.”

“Bought this at the same time as the leather handbrake lever gaiter and the chrome push button. All good quality items but with no fitting instructions, its only when you rummage around on MX-5 forums or read product reviews on this website that you find out how to fit them! The tricky bit is getting the old original sleeve off - 2 or 3 minutes with a hot hair dryer softened the original plastic handle sufficiently to enable it to be gradually eased off, and the new item was a good fit - took a bit of a heave to work it on over the metal handbrake lever itself, but was worth it as you don't want it to feel loose when using it, do you?! The length of the handle and aforementioned leather gaiter mean that the rear chrome collar on the handle disappears inside the gaiter and so you don't actually see it, however the front collar is obviously still visible so I'm happy with the result.”

“Easy to fit - ust need to crimp the handbrake lever in a little to fit the new sleeve on. It's a five minute job. Looks good but wouldn't have minded if the sleeve had been a 50% larger diameter.”

“Sleeve looks great and delivery was first class, however the sleeve is so tight a fit that after a great deal of effort it went on, only for the fit being so tight it squeezed the button release such that it would depress to release, but would not pop back out. Handbrake rendered inoperable. Contacted MX5 parts but no response. Not happy!Editors Note: We have checked our e-mail system and we had indeed missed this mail! We have now sent a reply along with a replacement sleeve for you to try. We are sorry for the delay and would remind all customers that they can also call our customer service team on 02392 644588 from 09:00 to 18:00 Mon to Fri if you prefer to speak in person.”
