Console Shifter Boot

[Flyboy1400]

I need a new boot for my '66 Satellite, it's oval and has 6 screws, all the boots I can find are round with 3 screws and are listed as '66-'74 A and B. Even Year One has the round boot listed for '66. Is the round boot correct? If so does anyone know what the oval boot would be off of? I ordered one to see how close the fit was and it doesn't come close to covering the oval hole in the floor. I suppose I could weld up the hole and then cut out a round hole, but that seems a lot of work if the oval boot is available somewhere.

Thats it alright, C body though? How strange, the oval hole looks factory. Makes me wonder how common it was to 'borrow' parts from other production lines.

PM sent. Good to know, I found some info on fcbo, looks like as of now those are not reproduced, only the round ones.

Seems like the common fix is to screw a piece of sheet metal over the hole and mount the round boot to that.

Interesting. My '66 Satellite has the oval boot, like yours. I'm in Texas, but my car was built in L.A. and originally sold in Washington. Maybe it's a west coast thing.

The oval one is the same as the one off of my 66 coronet.

I'd be interested in the boot alone if that's all you had, I can clean up and reuse the metal parts on mine. Tried to PM you but your inbox is full. You can send me a PM if you'd like to sell the boot with price and shipping. Thanks.
