So now onto the final stage of this job, previously done on my Roadster a few years ago.

First the leather inner gaiters. Cut from fairly thin leather, and with hand stitched velcro, 10mm wide. Then treated with Nikwax. This is to resist water from the outside, and protect from grease on the inside.

Next the outers - made from mohair and slightly longer than my standard single layer gaiters to fit around the leather.
