Classic Style Shifter Boot For 97 Cobra?

I looked for one of those for YEARS and never found anything...I ended up with this:


it is an older picture and I have refined it some since then (and cleaned it and replaced the carpet ).

I think there are more now then when I started...at least now there is a handle for the SN95, when I did mine I had to modify a handle.

If you want to do something like i did I recommend picking up an auto trans bezel and modify it, the 5-speed bezel assy. is stupid expensive...

Anyway I started with a generic boot from the parts store and sort of bent the trim ring to follow the shape of the shift bezel. Then since the boot wasn't mounted to the floor I drilled some extra holes in the trim ring and used nuts and bolts to assemble it. Also because the boot isn't on the floor, the movement of the handle puts extra strain on handle opening. I reinforced the opening with a piece of stiff rubber under the top pleat of the boot and with some zip ties around the handle to keep it from collapsing.

here is a better picture
