    Replacement shifter boot

    So I got together with the wife and made a sweet new shifter boot and i'm not sure how it should get attached to the plastic frame. What kind of glue do you all use? The plastic looks like polyethelene so I would think a standard quick drying CA would be fine. Opinions?

    Thanks. I'll post a pic (of the boot and my wife) once it's in.

      I used 3M Spray Adhesive. Clean the frame up REALLY well before you start fitting the boot over the frame. Things can get messy, and sticky real quick. (That's what she said.)

        Gorilla glue worked for me.

            You're going to put matt-b out of business. Your wife has better cleavage than he does.

              LOL, I don't know if her cleavage is going to put him out of business all by itself. She did have fun putting it together though, she even insisted on doing the install herself. I went in for beer after getting the head unit installed (was maintenence weekend) and came back to see the new boot in place. I'm just glad she wants to be part of the process. Even gave me the goahead to start getting parts for a driveline rebuild/swap. Best wife ever.
