Are there two (2) styles of gear stick console boots for LJ manuals (XU1)??. Mines a May 72 XU1 and I've known its full history back to late 70s and the car is pretty well appears unmolested and been in a storage shed for the last 20 years till I bought it early this year, so went to replace my gear shift boot which was worn out and after some research realised that the original boot on my car is unlike anything I've seen on the forums? See photos for comparison. My original boot looks original and the vinyl is brittle and dirty however still had the original plastic base and it just looked factory issued/manufactured? I unpicked the stitching in my one so I could get one made but ended up buying a replacement boot from Brad Merrick (see photo) but am reluctant to replace it until I am 100% sure it is correct.
Does anyone have an LJ XU1 with a gear stick boot like my original??
