Shift boot alternative?
I just put a 4 inch delrin **** on my stock shifter, and screwed all the way down it pushes the leather boot onto the wide part of the shift arm, which stretches it in an ugly, possibly damaging way.
I removed the boot wondering if I could modify it in any way, and I like the look of the exposed shift arm. But I need a boot of sorts. Are there any alternatives to the stock leather boot? Rubber? Or any clever way to modify it to sit low on the arm?
Just a thought and some curiosity....
Thanks!

Me too. I wanted a little silver to jive with my gauge bezels, pedals, and other small silver or aluminum items in my interior. Something to break up all the black. I have found some better shift ****/boot alternatives since then, but the Momo collar did give me the look I was after temporarily.

Nothing. The base of the **** had a slight taper that fit into the collar snugly. The pressure of the shift boot (secured with a zip tie around the shifter shaft) was plenty to keep the collar from coming loose.
