Picked up a new rubber shift boot from MSA, it's actually a real Nissan part. Anyway, I have the metal ring that seals the boot to the transmission tunnel but no nuts or bolts. What type of hardware holds these parts together?

IIRC, on my 73, they were about 3/4 to inch long sheet metal type screws. Flat blade top with a sharp point on the end. They fasten into the steel body and can't been seen with the console on. So about anything you can find that will hold tight to make a good seal would work. Self tapping comes to mind.

Awesome, thanks. I suspected screws had been used before, a couple of the tunnel holes are pulled upward a bit. Becuz of that slight warp in those holes, I thought maybe the wrong parts had been used which is why I asked. I'll try to flatten them with some nuts & washers before I put in the screws.
