I have a side shift conversion in my '72 and I want to make a little boot for where the linkage comes out of the firewall.

Anyone have any good ideas for making a custom boot that does NOT require removing the linkage rod? I'm not looking for anything that's airtight or anything, just to keep splashing water from going into my center tunnel.

Any thoughts?

That's actually a photo of the URO reproduction of the factory pieces, it's a nice kit (p/n 914424501K).

So is this for tail shifter or side shifter?

Does this fit the firewall or gearbox?
