I was gathering up my side shifter parts to start cleaning them up and I recalled there was a article in Porsche Panorama years ago that covered this. It had nice diagrams and pictutes along with a drawing to make a adapter plate to use the firewall boot on an early car.

It took me a little while searching the PCA site but I found it I don't know if anyone else has posted this but it's in the August 1990 issue.

Now I just have to go dig through my stack of Panorama's and find it

Replaced initial scan with much better quality one below.

FWIW, if you use the tangerine racing firewall shift bushing, the side shift boot almost slides right on.

If Chris was to machine a small lip in the bushing holder, it would retain the boot better - wink wink, nudge nudge...

I'll try to get a picture tonight.

Is everyone else that downloads the file getting a very grainy, hard to read file?

Does anyone have a higher res version?

I started doing that with the last batch I made.
Just enough of a groove for the bead on the boot end to fit into.

Way better quality on the scan. Thanks for taking the time to scan it!
