Thanks Goosey... arrived next day - nice !! Using the old motor trimming skills, I made up a new boot of better quality vinyl to go with the gearknob and it looks the shizz .

I will be putting up a thread for the benefit of members to have their old gear boots replaced at materials and postage cost only, for the classic models. I'll need to look at how the 01 models onwards have been put together by Subaru, but it should be the same deal to replace the gearboots, so I believe.

Old gearboot: here

New gearboot with new gearknob here
