Default 6-speed boot plastic ring part #?

I got a new shift boot this week, but the plastic ring that the shift boot attaches to is broke on mine. I need to find a replacement, so I went to Fred Beans website and couldn't find that part in the catalogs. Anyone know what the number is? or do you have to buy th entire shift boot?

Thanks,

Sorry.....but you have to buy the whole boot. The plastic ring isn't sold as an individual part. Many of us have broken rings and have been able to fix them. Good alternative if ring is badly broken rather than putting out close to $90.00 for a new boot.

Try Gene at the KarShop - he may have a used boot and ring that you can pick up for a decent price.

I had the same problem a while back and was able to fix it. I cut two small pieces of plastic (about 3/4"x 1 1/4") and glued them to the ring with epoxy, with one on the inside and one on the outside. I then drilled two small holes through the patch pieces and used pop rivets (two on each side of the break) to make the repair stronger. Worked good.
