Swine Eleven ReBoot - Shift Boot Trim Panel for 964 / 993

After a few weeks of playing I think I've stumbled on a solution that works well. I've ordered materials for the prototype version, I now have a C2 and C4 shifter in hands to test a 3d printed version. Initially it will be a shaft adapter and OE style ****, after that I will open it up to 917 style ***** and billet ***** for those who wants a heavier solution.
Holidays are coming up, good driving weather there, so trying to invest some time in my 993 to wrap it. End of the year, early 19 for the ***** but should be worth the wait (and priced reasonably in comparison to other solutions).

So I purchased your ReBoot today from you, and I just ran into this thread. Any luck on the spine and ****? I messaged you on IG and I'm really thinking of getting the Carbone set up but it is pretty pricey. If yours is ready or very close, I'd like to check yours out. Sooner the better since my car is torn apart right now haha...

I'm working on it, the carbone is a great looking piece but has some limitations with the boot length. I'm hoping to offer a 917 style **** and standard Dansk style ****.
Just wrapped up our 993 build and am in the process of moving into our new house. I'm a month or so away from having any free time, but once I do this is one of the first projects I tackle.

Thanks! Though my car is already apart right now and I don't think I can wait that long....hmmmm...anyways, good luck with the move and congrats on the new house and finishing the 993 build.

Thanks for the insight. Did Carbone replace the OEM boot to make their current set up work then?

Here is my Carbone shifter. They had a short, but significant sale way back around Thanksgiving, and between the wait on the order and finding time to install I've just recently put this in. Installation was very easy. The OE boot in my car had previously been cut, and I think the fit is good.
I'm sure it's not for everyone, but I do like the overall feel of the shifter and I'm diggin' the 917 look, too...

I've made it work and give the look that people want, just need to work on a hardware solution that will be completely hidden and properly anchored to the flat bar shifter. Maybe I'll try and sneak some time in to finalize at least a Now solution while I perfect it.

Carbone has a Reboot in their hands, if everything goes as planned they'll be offering them to their customers soon. I spoke to the guy who makes their shifts and told him that he might need to make them a bit taller to accommodate this style (in full disclosure I also shared my plans to make our own since they were already in the works when his released).

As for the totally hidden hardware This is why I have not bought anything else, I can’t get over visible grub screws killing an otherwise nice design. All you need to worry about is that there is no fore/aft slop when shifting, perhaps a friction fit (using some kind of sleeve) to emulate the OEM shifter is the ticket?
