New US made 65 - 67 Shifter boot
58 minutes into our Black Friday sale and I can say that I am so pleased with how all of you have shown up that I am going to take a significant portion of the profits and pull the trigger on this greatly needed part. US made EPDM rubber with parting lines set so as to not separate like the original and we will guarantee free replacement if one goes bad like the Nissan ones did. We are looking at an intro offer of $49.00
If you have a new one that our supplier can work from and a used one to show how they fall apart, please contact us at sales@datsunparts.com
Happy Thanksgiving! Dean

Re: New US made 65 - 67 Shifter boot
Thanks Dean, received my package this morning. Although FedEx dropped the ball. They came nearly 15 min. before the 10:00AM-2:00PM window start time and didn't stick around for a signature. The delivery lady was climbing back in her rig when I opened the door. No issue for me, but could be for others if this was more than a one off event.Datsunparts.comInc wrote: ↑Wed Dec 06, 2023 1:01 am Ben, It was a wonderful. 208 orders with an average ticket of 27 items.

Boots are in testing. Got this photo from the manufacturer. Early stages of polishing. Cost a bundle to make.

Specs slightly different between the molds? Seems volume would only necessitate one mold once going into production.Datsunparts.comInc wrote: ↑Mon Feb 19, 2024 7:09 pm Boots are in testing. Got this photo from the manufacturer. Early stages of polishing. Cost a bundle to make.

Re: New US made 65 - 67 Shifter boot
Looking at the pins to holes layout, I think they might probably be 2 halves of the same mold....I could be wrong

Re: New US made 65 - 67 Shifter boot
I'll see if my uncle would need a shifter boot for his incoming '67 project. We'll tow it this week once the truck is ready. The tool box and tonneau covers showed up so we might take her in tomorrow.

Final polished out article is here for approval. Will be about 2 months before we receive if everything continues to go as planned . Read up on what we did to make a better part. Cost will be around $50.00 to $60.00 each.

Re: New US made 65 - 67 Shifter boot New Photos
NICE Dean! Between tooling cost and manufacturing cost per piece on startup you probably need to sell well over 200 to start breaking even. VERY much appreciated! Glad I could contribute in a very small way to the project.Datsunparts.comInc wrote: ↑Fri Apr 12, 2024 4:38 pm Final polished out article is here for approval.

Normal stuff. We've been facing the music for years and it always works out. I pre sold100 pieces going to Japan out of the first run.

Re: New US made 65 - 67 Shifter boot
I'm excited as well, as that is the boot I use. And my current one has already begun to fail as described and was not that old. I think I even added some Flex Seal to the underside, but the weak point is the seams as Dean said. Thanks Dean, I added myself to the "email me" list!
