Gear shift boot
I know they aren't original equipment, but what are the opinions about the boot they sell for the gear shifter and the E-brake handles?

Re: Gear shift boot
While they aren't original equipment, my car is a driver so I am using both. I feel anything that will help seal the passenger compartment from dust and fumes is a good thing.

Why not?? They "finish" off the interior. JMO

Re: Gear shift boot
Mine are not fine point vehicles just drivers, so I use them on the trans tower, it keeps out a bit of draft, dust etc, and they actually look pretty good

Re: Gear shift boot
I like em both. They appear to have been made for the job. Only dyed in the wool enthusiasts know they aren't original

Re: Gear shift boot
I did like Tom suggested. I made my own out of soft leather. They are nice and tidy and even look period correct.

Re: Gear shift boot
I had the boots on my car when I bought it 25 years ago. They split, I bought another set, and then took them off. My car is also a driver and I may put them back on. Like slammin and holdover both said they keep the cold and dirt out.
Thanks for the input. Marty |
