If you put it in a bench vice you can break the rubber in the upper part of the shift with some vice grips. Slide the boot on an re-assemble with some sikaflex. ;) Quote
azzy_10 Posted April 27, 2012 Author Report Posted April 27, 2012 for your information it did work thank you verry much just like i wanted it to do Quote
Jono.C Posted April 27, 2012 Report Posted April 27, 2012 That's going to smell oily and fuely as shieeeeeete in that car with that much air gap, plus it'll be loud as hell with a hole that large Hope you plan to plate it up.. The factory one would have been more ideal though as it'd be air tight Quote
Jono.C Posted April 27, 2012 Report Posted April 27, 2012 Also, I dare say your floorpan may cut through that boot? Looks to rub Quote
azzy_10 Posted April 29, 2012 Author Report Posted April 29, 2012 thats in some of the pics are in gears too but will be cutting and shutting the hole up and then the top boot goes on after Quote
