Gear Leaver Space reduction

[Fox R34]

Hi lads and Lasses,

 

What have you all done in the past to fix the gap on the shifter when using an after market gear knob such as my nismo here.

 

Gap between the knob and the leather boot looks tacky, any easy ideas to make the knob meet the boot flush?

 

Cheers!

Chris

Black paint?  Better knob?

Get your lever chrome plated? Put the stock knob back on?

Chop off a bit of garden hose?

I'd be more worried about the gear surround being painted.

Measure distance from bottom of gear knob to top of leather cut a peace of hose at exact length take gearbox boot off alide hose over thread and down shaft put gear surround back on and screw knob down leather will now be on underside of knob

I once filled that space with some heat shrink I had lying around. It did the job and made a horrible looking item look semi-neat.
