Hello,
I am fixing and cleaning up my Jeep before the good weather starts. it's a '79 CJ5.
what I was wondering is :
There is a transmission cover that goes over the hole in the floor where the 2 sticks for the tranny and transfercase come up through.
That cover has 2 holes for the rubber boots. Is there (are there) a bezel that goes over the rubber boot on the bottom ?
if so ...are there after market ones available ?
thanks,
Ron
Are you talking the shifter and transfer case boots? If so mine just screw to the cover.
Nope, only the metal plate and the rubber boots.

And I suppose the rubber boots go on there from underneath ? (else it looks kinda crappy ?)

Yes,
those are the ones. I do have the metal cover.
I was just wondering if there was a bezel that clamps the rubber boot between the metal tranny cover and "that" bezel.

Yup, I used stainless screws to help keep it nice.

Both my `79 CJ-5 and the `78 donor hulk had steel trim rings for each set of shifter boots. The rings are about 2/4" wide (without looking) and hold the edge of the boot fairly tightly against the transmission cover plate. The hold-down screws pass through the rings. The rings also eventually crack through the screw holes. Perhaps yours were tossed out.
Flipping through a few catalogues it seems that no one makes them. Odd, I'd think that they'd be offered in stainless along with billet light knobs.
