it's supposed to be a firewall boot for a tail shift linkage. tried to install today and doesn't fit either end. it's way too big for the opening of that weird plastic piece that kinda snaps on the firewall, and the small end is too big around the shift bar too.

it's my own fault honestly. the part is supposed to be NLA, so I tried to get one from AA. After it being on long term backorder for over a year, I was surprised one day when it showed up. however, I was more surprised today when I found out it wasn't what I'd ordered, or at least wasn't what I'd asked for.

anyway, does anyone know what I've got? better yet, anyone want it? to AA's credit it looks new, the white stuff is that coating they put on to stop oxidization.

looks like its for the master cylinder, oops. ,my bad, a CV boot

3" in diameter? If so, it's a CV axle boot. Can't tell from the image if there are marks around each end where the clamp bands go.

is it the boot that goes on the big oval tailshift cover?

Nope..

Looks like 911 shift linkage boot that goes in the tunnel.

Was it supposed to be the front shift cover boot?
We've been waiting for the guy to make them for quite a while, seems like they're having some trouble with it.

I held it up to one of the CV boots and the profile isn't identical, but the dimensions all seem like a match. I suspect there's a couple molds for these things.

looks like I'm now the proud owner of a $25 CV boot. At that price I hope it's Genuine Porsche!
