Default WTB: Plastic Boot Ring

I have a friend who is looking for a plastic boot ring for his manual C5 corvette. This is the ring that is stapled onto the shifter boot that sits under the radio bezel. Let me know what you have.

Thanks!

Maxx, if his boot broke I would highly recommend a metal replacement. They are cheaper and fit great. After many years dealing with mine being glued back together I purchased a metal one and it's night and day difference in fit/finish. Send me a PM and I'll get you the details on where to get the metal one.

Thanks for the suggestions guys, the metal one is the same one I'm running in my car. But my friend wants the original for some reason. I explained it's the same If not better but he's a stubborn old fella

Gotcha. I understand his position, I wasn't sold on mine when I bought it, but once installed, it was easy to see it was a better piece.

Maxx you gotta get that old timer into the new school of thought. That plastic piece is absolute garbage and the metal ebay ring is the way to go!
