Default C2 Shifter Boot replacement?

Does anyone know any good custom replacement shifter boots for a C2 with a hurst shifter. I don't like the way the stock boot fits.

I'm trying a Hurst boot, but not sure it will work. I have a new stock boot also but not sure which will work better.

I'll follow this link to see what you come up with.

David.

I have the same issue, round hole in the boot and a flat Hurst stick. I used a small black wire tie to tighten the boot around the stick.

They make a stock shift lever and **** that fits onto a Hurst shifter.

Gilmore1967: That's why I asked you in a previous post what boot you ordered. I was hoping someone came out with one that would look good with the flat stick, but fit in the factory console. I think you have to use a factory boot and somehow pinch the opening tight around the stick.

Dan,
I have the stock boot that I will most likely use, however I did get a new Hurst boot just to look and see if it can be modified to work.

I'll keep you posted.
