914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Shift Boot Orientation

Posted by: Minerva's 914 Apr 11 2020, 11:15 AM

I have an aftermarket center console that is very true to the original design but the shift boot leatherette seam is facing towards the front of the car and while I no longer have my original to compare it to, it seems wrong to me. Before I put it back in it looks to be very easy to reverse so my question to the brain trust is this, seam facing forward or rearward?

Thanks in advance.

I think OEM seams faced rearward, but it's your choice - if you want to see the seam or not

Thanks, that's my memory as well. I'm going to reverse it and if it's wrong, we'll call it a personal preference mod.

Thanks
