[Healeys] center shift rubber boot

[Alan Seigrist]

Gary -

The consensus is the centre shift boot went nipple down at the factory, but
I have found that when combined with the little chrome fixing ring from
Moss, that it works MUCH better nipple up.  It will last much longer nipple
up.  I think the one on my BJ8 now has been going 10 years with no rips or
tears.  Previously with it installed nipple down, it was failing annually.
