Alan,
That is my understanding of the way they were originally installed, too. What
seems strange is that the mold lines only show on the side that would be
visible if installed as original. I am hoping that someone sells a boot with
the mold lines on the underside when installed as original.

Gary -
The consensus is the centre shift boot went nipple down at the factory, but I
have found that when combined with the little chrome fixing ring from Moss,
that it works MUCH better nipple up. It will last much longer nipple up. I
think the one on my BJ8 now has been going 10 years with no rips or tears.
Previously with it installed nipple down, it was failing annually.

John,
Thanks, I will order one from them. Did you install the boot with the bellows
up & the center (the part around the shift lever) down or the other way
around?

My BN6 was modified years ago to take a center shift tranny. I bought a boot
ast summer from Moss that does NOT have the mold parting lines that you
ention.

ubject: [Healeys] center shift rubber boot
I recently purchased a rubber boot for a center shift transmission from
ictoria British which they sourced from AH Spares. It has a lot of mold
arting lines in it on the side that is visible when installed as original.
nterestingly, the underside does not show these mold lines at all. Does
nyone know of a source for this boot that does not have these lines on the
isible side? Also, out of curiosity, were these lines visible on the
riginal
oots?
