OK, so who HATES that old accordian shift boot in your manual B12's?? well certainly myself and I know of several others.
A few weeks ago i was just kinda putsin' around my local pick n' pull and decided to find a leather shift boot that would work good in place of the rubber accordian style one. Low and behold I had success!!
So all you need for this is a super strong adhesive, and the leather shift boot out of a 1991-1994 Toyota Tercel. Once you have the boot out of the tercel, cut the stitching at the base so that you can remove the steel bracket, as you don't need it. After removing the rubber boot from your console, then use a very strong adhesive (i suggest some form of epoxy) to glue the tercel boot in. it fits and works great! and looks ten times better.
an extra bonus is that redlinegoods.com makes boots for the Tercel, and you can get different colors, different stitching styles, piping etc. so you can order your own custom boot and fit it in for about $50-70US.
I cant seem to upload pictures onto my photobucket right now, so i can't post a picture of it yet.
I have pictures on page 3 of my car domain, which you can find via the link in my signature
