E-brake install coming soon....

If you don't inderstand this write-up. please disassemble your shift boot assembly before asking questions.

Most of this makes sense when you have studied the pieces involved while in your hands, not just on your screen.

That is a good write up llaprad1 . I didn't make the group buy, what source did you get that boot from. I would like to get one.

is this the same procedure for the b14

No, I'll post pictures of my install.

anyone watch the movie "tommy boy" at least once a month like i do? "if you don't know how to put your seat belt on raise your hand and i'll have tommy come over and hit you on the head."

Another option instead of wood screws would be to use zip ties. I honestly didn't think of the wood screw idea, so I did the same thing but w/ zip ties.

Here's my write up:

B14 install (http://www.sr20deforum.com/eric/boot_install.htm)

Instead of zip ties, I used epoxy. It was one of those doohickeys where you mix two parts together to activate it. I used it for the installs on both my SE-R and the NX, and it works great! It was only 3 bucks from walmart.

eric96ser by any chance did yoiu get the ebrake also i was wonderin if there was a write up on that too. thanks that write up helped me alot

No ebrake boot for me.
