Steve,
Thanks for the reply. I did try to install it just the way you outlined
and it just wouldn't slide down all the way. I've read the previous
comments in the archives re the pesky little ring. The Moment/Anderson
book shows pictures of the rubber boot installed with the nipple (for
lack of a better term) installed both ways-up and down. On p.109 they
state "On the center shift MkII's, the bellows of the rubber boot
extended upward, with the center downward." To me, it just looks right
with the nipple on the top side with the chrome ring showing so that's
how I'll install it (with a slit down the back to allow it to expand as
it slides down the lever). It's too bad that whoever makes these rings
didn't do their homework and get the size right from the git go. Thanks
for letting me vent, I feel much better.
