Default shift boot retainer ring
I am about to do a m6 conversion and im almost complete with parts. I need to find a shift boot retainer ring because my new shifter boot didn't come with one. Any ideas to where I can buy one?

You could also make one yourself out of a wire coathanger. That's what I did when my stock plastic one snapped.
