Basic OEM shift boot cover

The OEM shift boot cover made out in synthetic vinyl is somehow deteriorated. The owner wants a new one in leather material.
Perhaps the most difficult part of this process is the dismounting of the plastic pieces that hold the shift cover. Due to the years some plastic parts are dry and become brittle. So we should be very careful to manipulate them.
As we can see the old cover is useful to duplicate it in leather. It was necessary to thin the edges of leather material to let them get into fastening frames that are very tight.
Another tip you can see in the video is to put some pencil marks to match the sides after the fitting process. We can realize the base frame is not square but some kind of pyramidal.
Considering the small mouth on the upper side is lightly wide (30 mm approx.) It is possible to sew the double stitches from the top end to the bottom end with a flat bed sewing machine. Some limitations though. The ideal machine to sew these french seams (double stitches) would be a post bed sewing machine graduated to the required width of stitching lines.
I hope you find some useful tips in this video!

Where do you get those white ink pens? Are they made for marking leather and vinyl?

[@Cechaflo]

It is called silver leather marking pen. I buy them from a local supplier that sell shoemaking products. You could also get them on Amazon, Ebay, etc.
