I am after the actual item or even a tracing of an original would do, I got the old boot when I bought the shifter but there is no plate.
Any leads or help appreciated.

Stinky,
Is there anything unusual about the twin-stick boot? I've got a boot at home that I suspect is a "Speco-Thomas Universal gear shift boot 621509". It's made for a 3½” x 4½” hole, and to suit a leather/vinyl boot. From memory, I've also got the boot for a Speco Aussie 3-speed as well (would have to check that one though... can't remember whats in the box), and a couple of rubber Impala boots. If they are what you are after, I'm happy to take photos/measurements.
Speco also did a rubber boots:
a) Nissan gear shift boot (621511) for a 3” x 5½” hole,
b) centreshift gear shift boot (621514) for a 3½” x 4” hole,
c) Euro gear shift boot (621515) for a 3½” x 5¼” hole,
d) Mega boot (621516, also sold as Spectre 6284) for a 8” x 9” hole,
Spectre Performance did a 6283 for a 6.5”x5.5” hole, and a 6285 for a 5.25”x4” hole (this one had a round rubber top instead of the normal pyramid shape).
Cheers,
Harv.

The measurements would be great thanks, I'll have to make something anyway and that will give me a starting point. I guess the Twin-Stick boot would be similar to the single stick Aussie 4 Speed shifter  |

Cheers,

G'day Stinky, Looks like I've got three boot surrounds (this is how it happens... I start writing about a crashbox guide, then get distracted with floor shifters... and end up with a box full of them  ):  The one on the left is an original Impala boot and plate. The one in the middle is an original Speco boot and plate. The one on the right is a made-in-Taiwan cheapy - probably not Speco as the plate is much thinner. The Speco one is the one supplied to suit with a 601474 shifter kit (HQ-HZ Aussie 3-speed). I suspect it is a Speco-Thomas Centreshift gear shift boot, part number 621514 3 to suit a ½” x 4” hole. It measures 138mmx160mm, with the plate 19mm wide and 1.2mm thick. Holes are 3/16". Inside corner radius are about 9mm, outside radius 15mm. Let me know if you want a tracing and I'll throw one in the post, or if you want dimensions of the shifter itself. Hope it helps. Cheers, Harv. |

Thanks Harv and Pete,
Pete, I'll take you up on that offer as soon as I have confirmed it's all going to fit and work.

The Impala brand is a funny one. No link to GM that I know of, but their logo is very, very close to the Chev Impala logo:  If anyone has any info/instructions etc for Impala gear, I'd love a copy for the crashbox guide. Cheers, Harv |
