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? |

I was thinking I'd need a new boot for it to stay in place. Not. Mike and I took TOO much time dialing in his linkage and it never slipped off. Kudo's. |
