[Healeys] Gear lever boot ring

[Edwin Harris]

Dan,

I don't think there is a way. The boot is too thick or the ferrule is 
too small, depending on your point of view. Glad to see you refer to it 
as a ferrule. usually the only time I see that word it is in reference 
to the ferrule on the tip of a cue stick.
