I can't find a shifter boot for my 70 c50. all the universal ones are too small ( for hondas I think) if you don't have a " fast and furious import" :rolleyes: you are out of luck at the parts stores these days, especially around here. Any way thought about making one out of vynl or something any Ideas? The plate on the floor that holds it on is almost oval and too large for anything I have seen. :confused:

Hey Bill that's not a bad idea for some

I made a cardboard copy of what my boot should be. it's like a tipi shape laid out. I took it to an upholstry shop and the guy let me choose the color ''hyde-o-nauga'' and he sewed it right there. I already had the ring to hold it down to the floor/carpet. wink

about $10.00 and 10 minutes work

I just started doing my interior and will be doing others as well.

Here are the boots I've made out of elk and moose hides:

I've also made two for a fellow bolter and we'll be posting pics next week.
