So while I wait on some sheet metal to come in I've been working on some interior stuff.
I'm going to run a RennShifter with a center console. I do not like the shifter boot supplied. It looks like a cv joint boot to me. I'm thinking of a leather boot for it. Anyone running the above setup that can post a few pics and where you may have gotten the boot from? TIA, Attached image(s)

TIA, i also have a center console with a Rennshift, and although it was fairly tricky, i was able to solve this problem last fall. you will have to build a customized bottom panel. here's how i did it. first, i used a 911 SC-style boot — much better appearance, and they can be affixed to the underside of the panel as a final step, similar to how the factory 914 center console shift boot is attached. to build the panel, i made several iterations using foam core panels at first. then i used the most accurate of these templates to trace and cut a version out of 1/4" plywood, and iterated a couple times on that. if you intend to cover it with thin foam + vinyl as i did, remember to account for the extra thickness. i found the install to be pretty tricky due to how close the larger diameter shifter body is to the inside of the left console panel. it's TIGHT in there. i will get some pictures for you. |

I had the same issue with fit too. It's diffidently tight on the left side. I have a cardboard template made up and seams like things will fit ok. When you get a chance post your pics. Thanks. |
