I found the stock boot a little binding for the Hurst shifter. I used a shift boot and trim from a '69-'70 with the factory Hurst shifter. Fit's way better.

That looks like a good solution.

this is what you need for the "final touch" to your cockpit

Hurst has different variants of their boot
Actually the first iteration you sent looks great! My car is day two and has been since she came under my custody, care and control so I ain't winnin' any concours events.

On second thought that design is prone to tearing.  I am liking Tomdeg's innovation as the better way to go.

Small block eight so live she feels
There she's parked beside the curb
Engine revving to disturb
She's the princess from his past

My car is originally an automatic however now lives with a four speed and Hurst shifter. Curious what the 66 manual Shelby Mustangs have for a cover plate. I have seen a few pictures with what appears to be a floating chrome bezel. Below is the current configuration. Does it need a bezel is my question.


My boot kept splitting from the floating bezel so I went with the deluxe and no more boot splitting!

I think for those that want a more original look along with a Hurst shifter that the 69 /70 boot and floating plate looks better in that respect then deluxe plate that was never used in a 4 speed Shelby so good choice IMO.
