Gear Shifter Boot (early)
At least two vendors offer a rubber boot and retainer ring reportedly for the base of the shifter for the ‘early’ vehicles. Although they make sense on bare floorboards (have not found a repro of the floor mat for left hand brake models), I have not been able to locate (as of yet) any documentation/photos suggesting these were original items. I have seen what appears to be a metal ring around carpet (i.e. closed vehicle) at the base of the gear shifter base (different from this illustration) but am curious if /when these were used on open vehicles.
