Rubber boot over 4x4 “sits loose what’s missing?”

[markrazz]

so is there something that holds this rubber cover tight mine just sits loosely on the tunnel now that there is no carpet or padding...
Any solutions would be great...

That's not the factory boot. Hit Google images for what the factory np203 boot and trim ring look like.

This is the factory boot.

That makes sense
Does anybody make a new repo of the boot and cover or do I need to find a replacement ?

I found them on the LMC site, see the bottom of the page. (Disclaimer: I've never bought one so no idea of quality.) Of course, there's always eBay or local used parts, 203's were pretty common in the 70's.

Btw, there are 3 pcs - boot, trim ring and the plate with the gear indicator. I didn't see the plate on the LMC page.

Ya noticed that I might see if there is a metal square to fit what I have as an option also...

I used a Hurst one from the parts store on a 203. Worked fine, comes with the trim ring, no gear indicator. From the generic performance rack.

Same here. I use a Hurst Super Boot over my NP205 shifter. Screws through the chrome plate is what holds it down.

I have a New Old Stock one still in GM plastic wrap...somewhere...I was going to use it sometime, but the one I have in my Blazer is also an original and it is in good condition.
