Boot ???

Since there is some discussion on shifters right now I wonder if someone out there might know where I can find a shifter boot for my single shifter D-18. I have looked all over. It seems the boot for the dual shifter ones are easy to find. Thanks. lt4now

Thanks for the quick reply. I visited that site, but they do not seem to have the one I am looking for.

 

I see they have the HD twin stick boot like mine.

 

I think he's looking for the flat piece of rubber that the single-stick D18 shifter goes through.

The boot is nothing fancy, IIRC. You may be able to use a piece of flat rubber. You can buy rubber of any thickness places like McMaster-Carr and MSC. Or you can look for discards, like inner tube rubber.

 

here is what i have. i'm not sure what it came off from as the p.o. installed it.

 

In a similar situation I stitched one up from soft leather. Worked fine.

 

That's what I am looking for, but I like the inner tube and leather ideas too. Thanks alot!!

 

Like Tim said, the original was a flat piece of rubber with a hole in it. I use a gasket hole punch for a perfect fit.

One piece of advice, stay away from the Crown boots. They deteriorate immediately.
