      Waiting for an answer from Blunt.
      I don't have a press, so will be looking for a shop to press out bushings and bearings.

        always get out of debt first.

        Yeah, your right I'm going to get the last few things I need and put the rest of it to paying off debt. I'm a bad impulse buyer.

          Anyone have any good shift/ebrake boot suggestions? the ones in the vert were replaced with bavauto stuff at one time, and they wore out pretty quick. I need something that looks nice and doesn't stand out in the interior, I've been searching the web but finding a normal boot that isnt 60$ for one boot is proving difficult.

              Lol The ones made here on r3v for the most part don't look to OEM. I want something leather at least.

              Has anyone had experience with these Ebay boots?

                    I have the same ones. They're a good deal and look professional vs home-grown.

                      I would make my own but neither of the sewing machines available to me can stitch leather, and im not hand stitching it, it would look awful.

                        They arrive super fast too. Didn't know something from England could make it to WA so fast.

                          Yes, I have these from that seller. Looks fantastic and for the price, you cant beat the look. Pretty much identical to the OEM one I pulled off.

                          I hate the accordion e brake boot lol too retro and IMO, looks out of place in the E30. Check out the leather one I have in my car at the next meet Austin, I think it will change your mind...all about the install.
