    What I did for the first build and what I plan to do with this one is to search for automotive gear shift boots that will cover the openings and allow for the stick travel. It worked well before so I intend to do it again. Search "stick shift boot universal" on Amazon and you'll find many to consider.

    Great idea about shifter boot. I have one on order from ORileys right now, so I’ll see how it works. This is kind of like ordering a coolant hose to get around my engine mount by looking at the pictures of the hoses in the catalogue.

    I bought mine from Kitfox. It was a couple of years ago and i think they were about $200 for the boots that were sewn to the carpets and also included heal pads built into the carpets. In other words they were carpets and boots combined. I would have done my own but it was one of the last things and just wanted to order and have it done.
