Looks similar to the one I got from moderndriveline. They included it for the 1973 conversion, even though their website say 69-70. Part number MD-321-1062-H. It was $25, which is a tad less than the ebay part.

I've been using the 70 boot since it became available. The round front is correct for a 71. At $225, I'm not a buyer - nor am I the target market.

The (cheaper) repops tend to split in the corners of the rectangular hole. This can be solved by first cleaning any molding residue from the inside with rubbing alcohol. Take a piece of plastic, metal or what have you, cut a plug the size of the hole, then apply a mold release of some sort. Place into the hole then apply a quantity of GOOP (black) and let it sit upside down for at least 24 hours until fully cured. Pull the plug and you're done. Another way I did this was to actually cut a piece of plastic that fits inside and GOOP that in as described above. This does not affect the shifting pattern. Since doing this, I have not had that problem, just splitting in other areas. The "rubber" is not what it used to be!!
