Default Shift boot for '68 Camaro with stock console and T56

Having a hard time finding a lower shift boot that lasts more than a few months that is low profile (needs to fit under a stock center console that has had the tunnel raised with SpeedTech pre-fab trans tunnel) and fits the larger stem of the t56. I'm going to have a leather upper boot, so it doesn't have to look good. What have you had luck with?

thanks,
Adam

Have you looked at cars that the T56 came in that have a console, you never know you might get lucky. I was looking on line and saw this place. Never dealt with them. https://www.luttyschevy.com/c-113515...cts-boots.html

2010 mustang might work. Brian finch shifter boot worked for me. Nice big opening, low profile that is big enough for a automatic 2nd gem firebird console that I put in my 67 camaro

Sorry, got busy installing a new RideTech 4-link... so this got low on the priority list. I'll post if I end up finding something that works.

This is who I went through for a custom bellows for the throttle body to air box. They offered it in silicone for temperature tolerance. Perhaps they can help you out as well with a bellows type boot for your shifter.
