Here are pics of the 3 and 4 speed bellhousing boot. Discussions have been started on revisiting the possible reproduction of these. I'd really like to find one good complete boot to use. Mine is marginal.

I remember some discussions on this-
a couple nights ago I was thinking about
repopping this again.  I'll have to contact
my local rubber guy.

Hey, I talked to Frank Mcintyre today and I'm sending him the
boot that I've got (torn up but whole) to see what it
would cost to make.    Patience.

Great news Ted. Make sure you keep us posted.

Oh if you tell him we need a bunch, that might help getting them done a little faster! 8)

I have one that could be used as a donor, but has a couple of split areas that need repairing.
I'm going to post on the V8 thread.

Ted,

 Maybe we should also see if he is interested in reproducing the 4-speed boot for the '65 GS with consolete.  The ones that are available now have a rectangular hole for the Hurst shifter.  Need one with a round hole.

Is this the same Frank that reproduced the '65 Steering wheel?

I talked to Doug Dougherty this week. I'm sending him my boot, and he's going to get the ball rolling on getting these reproduced. Hopefully with a little help from everyone here, we can make this happen!

That's good news Mark!
I believe Doug owns The Buick Farm. That's a great place to do business with. I'm also bought items from him on eBay....GSDoug, is it?
Wish he would join us here...
