There is a company who makes custom boots. I just finished installing the same 5 speed in my 69 convertible and am planning on giving them a try. The cost is roughly $100. I would prefer to have an orginal console but since they are hard to come by I will go the custom boot route. Their address is: RedlineGoods.com
Who made your custom boot? Do you have any photos of it? I am curious what it looked like. Thanks, Tom
