I decided to not replace the damaged console in my '68 442 with just a boot and trim plate.
The attached picture shows the bottom portion of the shifter and the boot and plate I currently have, which were used with the console.
Because the area where the plate would be affixed is rounded, the plate can't be effectively/neatly attached.
Also the top opening of the boot appears to not be shaped correctly for the "rectangular" shifter shaft.
I'm looking for a boot and trim plate which will work, or advice on the best source for these items.
Thanks.

 

Why not go with the repo non console boot and retainer, it does not use a decorative plate on top?

 

You can also obtain the hold-down ring that affixes the boot to the trans hump at the usual online outlets - Fusick, OPGI, OldsParts.com (formerly Brothers or BAP), etc.. I have a spare rectangular boot, but it is the one that mounts to the console, not to the floor.

I had completely missed the pcs offered by Fusick, which I just ordered. Thanks for the help.

 

Great! Glad I could help out

 

You absolutely did.
