Default MGW Flatstick Boot

Regarding the shift boot for a MGW Flatstick, I am ordering a new one from @RedlineGoods.com , do I use the stock size boot or should I get a shortened one?

Ask them as they may know. They were very communicative when I ordered a boot. Also, specify stitching in line front to back not side to side. It just looks correct.

I sent them an email and they weren’t sure as to the size needed for the MGW boot spec, I am thinking to tell them 1” shorter 🤷🏻‍♂️

If the bottom point of your shift **** will sit lower than that should work.... but bear in mind the length of travel of the shifter and how far the boot needs to stretch from forward to back at its highest/farthest point. You're probably on the right path though.

So, are you suggesting sticking with the stock boot size?
