Looks like it shouldn't be any problem at all. I'll email pix to Chistine from work tomorrow so she can post them. Keep your fingers crossed it's OK. I'll install Friday after work and post the results.
Good luck Tom. Hope it works, and can't wait to see the pics!

It's hard to see in the first picture but the brake handle hole was barely big enough for me to get my thumb through, let alone the actual brake handle.
Thanks for posting the pix, Christine. I don't know why I had so much trouble (yeah, I do. Cause it was ME.), but since Maciek was so eager to please and to make things right, I wouldn't hesitate to do it again.

This was the first time that posting pictures worked for me.  Normally I have to post a link. Thanks to Chongo I can do it!

Anyone have any input on which thread color matches our Prairie Tan the best? I don't see "Sierra" listed as a thread color, just a leather color. I'm thinking black boots with tan stitching.

I think it's great these guys are going to all the trouble to make things right with the shift & e-brake boots. Even as-is they still look very nice & once all of the bugs are worked out I'll mos def order a set for my car too.

I checked out the tan color and at the top of the page it says "PERFECT for all tan interiors". I agree with you, the black boots with tan stitching.
Pudmunkie: The black boots with red stitching look really nice.

I finally put the ebrake boot in today. I glued it in the frame with "Goop" that I got at Lowe's. I tried the epoxy in stick form that you mix, but it didn't hold. The "Goop" did the trick.
The extra length on the back side of the boot was perfect. It doesn't bunch up or look funny. I asked Maciek to make the back 7 1/2" long and it came out great. If anyone orders the boots now, I'd advise you ask Maciek to make it longer. I'm glad I did. I'll try to take some pix.
