Man, thats awesome, Neffets!
I've been struggling trying to get mine to work to my satisfaction.I ordered a rubber boot but it was too stiff and not a perfect fit.The stock shift boot is much more "rubbery "and takes a good shine with some black magic. Here is the best i came up with
I cut a stock boot and pulled out the factory boot.

If the leather boot is swapped with a plastic cup, would look sensational.
Are you using 2 factory boots or just one?

This is with the factory rubber boot, it looks ok, but it's a bit stiff, when shifting back and forth
The hole also needs to be a bit longer, the gear lever interferes when shifting back and forth, but then the hole would be bigger than the 5th bellow that I designed the hole for, hmm

Impressive progressive Nuffets! Appreciate the effort and the skill involved.
Have you got the rubber boot removed from the factory position and sitting much higher?

I just pulled up the rubber boot, I haven't checked if it's still where it's supposed to be or if i loosened it.
Next problem will be the round steel bar outside of the stock shifter, it needs to be 15mm interdal dia, and with 1mm wall thickness we get 17mm OD, I think maybe the rubber boot will be to tight to get it through.

hmm, the travel of the gear stick makes this a bit hard, I would have to open the center hole a lot more in order to give the stick enough room, this morning when I had the cup installed I couldn't get in reverse...
Picture shows how close it gets to the centerconsole

Yes, different transmission, much deeper cup, and what appears to be a different boot. Looks like it will be a challenge to get the tolerances right so not to bind.
