Leather Ebrake boot

Sick of looking at your cheap rubber accordion E30 Ebrake boot? Here is an attractive and inexpensive upgrade that really improves the look of your interior.

I�m selling a new custom made ebrake boot made of quality upholstery leather (no vinyl, pleather or faux leather) and stitched with high strength nylon upholstery thread. It fits the standard metal bracket (not included) on the E30s � see the pictures for more detail. Installation instructions included.

Leather Bolster Kit for Sport Seats

Do your seats look like the one on the left? Would you like them to look like the one on the right? A quick and inexpensive way to rejuvenate those old sports seats is to replace the leather bolster (side support) covers on the front seats. These are typically the first to wear due to entry and exit from the car.

I�m selling a set of 4 bolster covers, enough to do an entire sport seat. They are made of quality upholstery leather (no vinyl, pleather or faux leather) and are stitched with high strength nylon upholstery thread. They will fit the sport seats used in many BMWs in the 80�s and early 90�s, including E24s, E28s and E30s. See pictures below of my work and close ups of the bolsters.

I recommend doing all four bolsters at the same time, and even better on both front seats, as the seam will not duplicate what was done at the factory. It is also very unlikely the color would be a perfect match, so choosing a complimentary color that will coordinate with your interior is a good idea. Note these are for the bolsters only � the seat cushion and extension, back cushion and back cover are not included.

Installation is quite simple. Instructions are included with the kit. Only specialty tool which isn't a must but handy is a leather punch ($5 at any hardware store). I can install the kit for an extra charge if you are near Boston, Springfield MA, Hartford or anywhere in between.
