I'm looking to replace the rubber boot that insulates between the gear lever and the inside of the car on my GTV rebuild. The one I have has is torn in a few places. I am presuming you can't just buy such a thing off the shelf and I haven't seen it advertised anywhere.

Thanks

I don't have that exact boot but I do have the small donut shaped boot that covers the lever and pin lower down. NOS of course.

GTVeloce, I used a shaped rubber seal typically used on house roof around venting pipes.
Bought the smallest diameter available at Bunnings and cut a very small hole for the gear shift lever.

Thanks Kartone, that sounds like good idea. How did you affix it to the car? Screws? Pop rivets? And maybe a bit of silicone to seal it?

Thanks Pancho but my lower boot is in good shape at this stage.

Cheers

That is exactly what I was looking for! However, I have gone down the path kartone suggested of using a roofing seal which seems to work very well.

Can anyone recognise what the white car in the background is?

GTVeloce: self-tapping SS screws on existing holes with silicone to provide weather-tightness.
