joining gear shift gaiter and boot

[James Harwood <james.harwood@sbcglobal.net>]

Hi All,
The interior kit for my B included a very nice real
leather gear shift gaiter. Having now bought a new
rubber boot, I can't seem to come up with a way to
fasten them together under the trim ring.

The old assembly was stapled together with fairly
massive brass staples. Even if I could find the right
kind of stapling machine, I'm a bit reluctant to
purchase one just for the one job.

Has anyone been in this situation and found a
solution?

Thanks in advance,
James
