Well I purchased a used Hurst shifter off of member dakman6704.
Seems to be in good shape!!
I have it kinda rigged in, at the moment.
Need to make a spacer to put under it... .. Then I can permanently mount it.

Any suggestions on a boot that will work with the factory console?
Below is a picture of the shifter mounted.

 

Factory boot won't work??

 

no, its way off on the angle the shifter comes out. I will try to get a picture up to show you.

 

Here is a picture of the orig. boot. I may be able to reverse it, but it would be in a bind.

 

I wonder if you could flip the boot, cut the very top off, and rig up something to make it look good. Because it looks like the bind would come mostly from the upper little tube.

 

here is a picture flipped.... there is a plastic piece on the bottom of the boot that will need to be trimmed to get it to go backwards enough to drop in ....
Hurst does make a grommet that will go on the shifter to make it match up to a round boot opening.

 

If you knew of these and have already eliminated them, I'm sorry for relinking to them ... but did you check out what Hurst already makes?

Hey Ralph,

Actually what I was kinda thinking, make a plastic plate the size of the opening of the orig. boot. (to fit the console opening) Paint it the factory red color. (again, I have the paint) Then use the smallest hurst boot on top of that.

I was wanting to pick everyones brain, to see if there was any better ideas.

I will say, that shifter feels alot better then the factory one!!
