I didn't like the baggyness of the boot from Redline, so I made my own. Took a couple of tries to get the right pattern, but I like how it turned out. Here are some pics of the end result. I used vinyl, not leather, but it looks really good.

What do you think?

Cheers

 

Looks 10000000 times better than the redline boot.

 

very nice!

 

Wow! You are very talented. Any chance you can let the rest of us in on the secret plans?

 

".....but it looks really good." Javier, you're really underestimating yourself. It looks fantastic!!! What a great job. Looks like you might have to get yourself a business licence mister. I bet this'll go over way better than the Redline brake boot. Much cleaner in either the up or down position. Way to go brother

 

yeah man, think you could make them in leather or send us the instructions

 

Me like!

Off topic, where did you get the chrome shifter boot? I like that too!

 

Looks great. I would be interested in one if you decided to start selling them.

 

That looks great! Very good job. Professional looking.
+1 for instructions

 

Nice job... Ford should have included a EB boot from the start.

 

That is NICE

 

Thanks for the compliments. I am a teacher here in Alberta, and I am taking my students to Europe in a couple of weeks, so I have no time to make any more. When I come back, I will look into making more for those that are interested, but not right now.

I still have to look into a good way to secure the boot tightly to the console.

Cheers

 

As for the chrome around my shifter, I used the existing trim piece and had it chromed - it cost me $60 Cdn.

Cheers

 

if you figure it out i would like one in the same leather as the door panels for the seats

 

Javier, that's really well done!

Here's a link to another DIY PB boot project that takes a different approach. It uses an existing part so you don't have to be a leather worker/seamstress to build this one. The 11th post contains a link to a work plan document with pictures. Since the pictures were taken, I've added a UPR billet handle and a Shelby box cover to further complement the boot.

I have been very pleased with the one I got from redline. Looks very much the same as the one in the pics above and made of top quality leather. Does allow for full range of motion of the handle without binding. I do not see any 'baggyness' in the redline leather cover at all if installed correctly.

 

Chris,do you have pics w/parking brake all the way down? Also want to see since you upgraded it

 

That looks really good.

 

This is what SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN THE CAR ALL ALONG!

I want one.

 

Oh yeah, me likey too. Much nicer than the Redline boot. Let us know if you're going to make anymore...
