Finally! Got my package from Italy.
Installed the longer Redline leather shift boot to go with my SSK lever:
This is the new Neutral.
2, 4 and 6 are just barely behind it.
Glad I got the "Regular" and not the Nappa - the grain texture is just right.
I'm pretty sure the stock boot is a petroleum and not a bovine product. Shrank when heated, smelled bad, never felt quite like the real thing, and this new one matched the knob and handbrake much better.
