SSjon bestwheels did them for me when I purchased wheels. They look even better in person. They are a vendor on here. They might be able to hook you up.

vroomapunk--looking forward to receiving and should be here any day. Going to attempt install ASAP upon arrival

CamaroI · 02-13-2014, 08:28 AM

For all those looking to get a leather style manual boot for there Automatic. Prior to taking things apart be sure to make cut outs as shown below. This is done to prevent a gap between the cluster and boot.

The red line shows a better notch out to eliminate any gaps between boot and gauge cluster.

Notches also need to be made on the tabs to allow boot to slide upwards.

Hope this helps

Ball shown below is GM Series Solid Color Knob in the Color Rally Orange. The Size is 2 1/4 with Thread size 3/8 16th if using Shifter from CFD. The SS is 2010 Black Engraved. To give an idea 2 1/4 is the size of a pool ball.

Photo below shows different in Style and Size. The knob to the left is a Rally Shift knob from Epco. The Color is Rally Orange with 2010 Black SS. The size of this knob is smaller at 2 1/8. I prefer the 2 1/4. I also prefer the engraved SS on the right as opposed to the graphics knob seen on the left.

I just saw that CFD is offering a group buy on his shifter. If I get a knob from Epco, will I need to get the adapter kit, or can I just select the 3/8 16 thread size and will be okay for the install??

CamaroI · 02-13-2014, 11:51 AM

That is correct 3/8 16 size is basically all you need when ordering from Epco. No adaptor needed. Epco does include a large style "positioning nut" with knob, but discard that. Its way to big.

CFD will send thinner washers along with shifter to help aline the knob. Be sure to keep those handy. If you purchase a knob with graphics or lettering use a couple to line up correctly.

Hope that helps
