and if you dont have any rubber washers use tape and keep going around till its able to stop it from sagging thats what i did with mine :)

Nice man ! but i just use a thick cable tie to hold my shift boot up :) it also gives the shift boot volume!

that's all good man each to there own

Nice DIY, simple instructions. Both have already been done though.

+rep either way for the effort.

I personally prefer Ray's DIY where it was just a cable tie holding the boot up :D More easier to find one lying around.
