I don't know enough about manafacturing this sort of thing to give you advice. As best as I can tell the only way to have enough leather to move the shifter through its full range you are going to wind up with leather bunched up somewhere

You are right. It's gonna take some real expertise to make a good shift boot for the STS. I don't know if ANYBODY has the necessary skills to get this done properly. The boot will have to loop up from the outer bezel, then loop back down and then loop up (just a tiny bit). The reverse lockout lever needs to remain exposed above the boot at the shifter shaft. Gonna require someone with a real understanding of 3 dimensional geometry, leather, sewing, and engineering. If I could find the right boot I would pay $50.00 for it. But I don't buy anything "sight unseen" from anybody.

Redline, are you up to this task? I think you are. Build it, and we will come. Make us a shift boot for the short-throw shifter and we will buy it. The one you showed me with the quick up-turn from the bezel, then a down-turn to the center, and then a very very small upturn to the shaft is close to the right idea. Come on you can do it...........send us a pic when you get done.

Hey,

I already offered it to you once, that I will do it for you. But I need an order to have the incentive to make the boot! Couple of posts back I gave you a price I'll do it, here's a quote:

RedlineGoods.com said:
Sleasy: I can make a boot like that for you if you want. $50 shipped since it's a custom design. If it catches on and more people order it, I'll reimburse you $15 to the total of $35... I think it's more than fair for a custom job like that. I will keep the velcro on top, only tight around the lever, so that we can make all sides of stitching all the way up. Do we have a deal?

So it's your call if you really want one, I believe I'm giving you a VERY fair offer on it.

Take care,
Maciek

my shift boot=god.

I love it. Thanks Maciek... a SUPER product. I have the TWM and I love the way it fits

Maciek I would be willing to make installation instructions for you for product credit ( like for the ebrake boot)

[QUOTE="kdm" s10]any pics of these boots on TWM sts ?[/QUOTE]

I'm still waiting on my boot from Redline and as soon as it gets here I'm installing it and I can throw a pic up. Hopefully it'll be here within the week.

I got mine made 1.7" shorter than the stock boot since it's better to have more than less boot to work with. If need be, maybe I can trim it. But nevertheless, I'll let you know the results when I install it.

Hi guys,

the ebrake boot is ready. The first piece ever made was sent to 4doorGL for evaluation, but it looks super sweet (the Tiburon boots, both of them in general, are so cute since they're so small and have so many pieces... I'm very happy with how they turn out, on bigger boots it doesn't made such a neat overall effect) and if the dimensions I got are right (which I have no reason to disbelieve) it will be a great addition to the interior.

Anybody else want to be a guinea pig? :) If there are any slip-ups we'll fix them for free of course.

Thank you,
Maciek

Hi,

you can always pay for faster shipping, but 2-3 day shipping by either carrier (UPS, DHL, FedEx) is roughly the cost of the boots themselves, so I'm not sure it's economical. But if that's what you'd like, we'll do it for you, it's just going to cost you a bundle.

Thank you,
Maciek

hey there! I love my boot but there is one issue you might want to consider solving. My boost slides down the shift knob shaft. I am thinking of sewing a velcro circle on top of the boot and attaching one to the knob.

Any ideas Maciek??

I CANT WAIT for the shift boot. post some pics when you have it available

Hi,

you have the 5spd. Did you install it with the factory ring (needs to be removed from the old shift boot) or did you replace the ring with a ZIP-tie?

An idea that I know to be working is to mount a rubber ring very tight against the shifter after removing the shift knob and mount the boot (with the factory ring or a ZIP-tie - either way will work) ABOVE that ring. The top of the boot will rest on that rubber ring and be therefore held up.

Hope that helps!

When do we see the pics?!

GOOD THINKING


I didnt think of the zip tie thanks man!

I will get pics this friday I PROMISE! I have to take some pics of my turbo setup.

I am interested in being a tester for the ebrake boot. Can I get any sort of discount? also since I ordered the shift boot but the ebrake was not available?

Thanks so much!

Andrew
