Default Where can I buy the #6 rubber shift boot?

When installing my new pro 5.0, I was advised to just cut the #6 rubber boot. Now I regret it. I can feel hot air coming in through the parking brake hole, and near the ash tray, and it is noisy. I can't find it anywhere. Can anyone provide a link?

They appear to be discontinued, sold out, and no one has picked up production on them from GM yet. I think there is a post where someone adapted a generic aftermarket boot.

I personally got mine from hawksthirdgenparts.com in SC. They have a lot of hard to find new and used interior parts, switches and other things like that. Got a brand new GM manual pedal setup from them when I did my T56 conversion, as well as the upper console. All new. Check them out. If they dont have a new one they can probably get you one out of their many salvage vehicles that they part out.

I bought my car without the boot on the tunnel. I just recently bought a new boot off of Ebay, but I need the screws for it. Does anyone know what kind of screws it uses?

the 7mm head black pointy sheet metal scews, i think there the same as the other dash scews. Have a med size washer ~3/8 under the head thats loose fitting. There are longer then need to be and stick maybe 1/2" under the bottom of the DS tunnel.

Hopefully this is a sign that the parts drought is ebbing.
