Default gaitors

Hi Rich, I would say they are mandatory. I had a set made from two NOS originals I had. I need two more sets so if you like I can get a third set made, the guy is a bit slow so may take a few weeks.

let me know if this helps.

Kevin.

p.s. One think to note from the remains of ones I have removed, the wire that holds them on is four pieces of wire twisted at the corners, not one continuous piece.

i can confirm that kevin,that is the one and only correct procedure to fit the gaitor right.otherwise it will not tighten enough..

Kev stick me down for a pair of gaiters, can you email me a quote for the work though first, just in case it's out of my budget at the moment
