Hey Fellas, I think this might be a very good replacement shift boot grommet that several folks need. See what you think. Hope these pics work.

Looks pretty good to me. Here's a shot of my new boot with the original grommet.

And the hits just keep coming! That sure looks like Arne's original. Do you have a pic of just the grommet? It wouldn't concern me if the unseen portion isn't exact, as long as it fits tightly.

If you have a source, just add the grommet to my order for the pigtail cover and handbrake boot.

Sure looks good to me. :classic:

Thanks!

That looks really close to the original look and the dimensions look right. What material is it made out of?

If it is the same type of material as original, I'll take 2! All I could find so far is a rubber grommet.

Marty

This grommet is definitely rubber. I got a hold of one of the originals and it is a little harder than the rubber, but very little. I believe anyone would be hard pressed to tell the difference with it installed. For anyone who wants to give'em a try, they will be $3 ea. I will try to get a pic posted this evening of the 2 side by side for comparison. I won't be able to send any out til the 1st week of April. For anyone who doesn't have one, I believe you will be happy with them.

Bryan

Bryan,

Add three grommets to my order, please, and let me know when you want me to send money. I'm in no hurry.

BTW everybody. I bought a shift boot in leather and ordered the e-brake and pigtail cover in leather. I am very satisfied with everything.

Chris

O.K. Chris, I hope to have the grommets the 1st week of April & I'll ship all then. I'll let you know when I'm ready & you can do the Paypal thing.

Thanks

Bryan

I can't see that having a rubber grommet rather than the vinyl (or whatever) of the original is a big deal, as once installed the thing is all but hidden. (Yes, this is one of Bryan's boots.)

Me too! I can wait on the other stuff until this is available too if you haven't shipped it, to save shipping twice.

I'm a pretty sorry photographer but anyway,

Bryan,

I'm guessing that in the pictures of the grommets, the grommet on the left is the original, and the grommet on the right is the replacement you found.

Yes?
