Although I have been very happy with my Husrt Shifter; I have never really found a boot which looked like it was made specifically for this application and our production year Mustangs.
Obviously the stock boot is to large and the rubber Hurst boots are nice, but putting a square boot in an oval hole isn't the best answer either.
I am developing a leather boot specifially designed for this shifter which should work with the shorter chromed steel and aluminum sticks. This boot will hit just below the Hurst lettering on the side of the stick similar to the stock Hurst rubber boots. You will be able to install it by reusing the stock boot metal retainer ring once the stock boot is stripped off of it.
The link below is of the second prototype which I believe still fits s little too tight. The final design will be somewhat fuller, and will work with the OEM trim ring. There will also be a matching E brake boot available as well.
If there is any interest in these products let me know, and I will talk to the administrators about possibly making them available on the forum as a group buy.
The final design should be made up and installed on my car for inspection within the next 3 to 4 weeks.
Best Regards, Ed
