M/T shift boot

Step one make a pattern. Tape it together and see how it fits.

 

Nice leather shift and brake boots on the way

 

The console pops up,just clips. Trim ring and boot are held in by 6 small philips head screws. Boot unclips with 4 clips that are part of the trim ring,small and week,broke one. Boot staples to frame.zip tie holds boot top to twist ring. And the e-brake boot with way wore material than needed.

 

Got the shift boot sewn up. Gotta glue the seems down on the inside then get it in.

 

Not attached yet but it fits. Seams are straight. The lock of the zip tie goes into a notch on the upper ring and the tag end goes into the center and gets clipped off inside the ring. Boot is stapled on on the bottom so I’m gonna use the holes from them to stitch through. Wish me luck.

 

O-my god that was fucken scary. The leather is 4x as thick as the original material. Creaking and groaning of it all. I think I am going to have to redo it in thinner leather but now I will be able to cut the exact pattern from the other boot. Gonna but it in and go for a drive.

 

The only bit of color in there. E brake boot is next.

 

Is it like breaking in a new ball mitt?

 

It doesn't really move at the base once installed. So if you got it in, like should be good.

Enjoy!

 

A better picture. It needs more.
