The 1962-1967 Chevy II/Nova 4-speed chrome shift boot plate is a component used in vehicles equipped with manual transmissions, specifically those with a floor-mounted shifter. Here's what you need to know about it:
Function: Similar to the black shift boot plate, the chrome shift boot plate serves as a mounting platform for the shift boot, which surrounds the base of the manual shifter. It helps prevent dust, debris, and fumes from entering the passenger compartment through the shifter opening in the floor, while also adding a decorative element to the interior.
Compatibility: The 1962-1967 Chevy II/Nova 4-speed chrome shift boot plate is designed to fit specific models of the Chevy II/Nova produced during this time period. These models may include coupe and sedan variants with manual transmissions and floor-mounted shifters.
Construction: Chrome shift boot plates are typically made of metal, such as die-cast zinc or steel, and are plated with chrome for a shiny finish. This chrome plating provides corrosion resistance and enhances the appearance of the interior. Some shift boot plates may also feature embossed or engraved designs for added visual appeal.
Installation: Installing a chrome shift boot plate involves securing it to the floor of the vehicle's interior using screws, bolts, or other fasteners. The shift boot is then attached to the plate using snaps, clips, or other attachment mechanisms. Proper alignment and positioning of the shift boot plate are essential to ensure a snug fit and proper function of the shift boot assembly.
Maintenance: Proper maintenance of the chrome shift boot plate involves periodic inspection for signs of wear, damage, or corrosion. Chrome-plated surfaces should be cleaned regularly with mild soap and water to remove dirt and grime, and polished with a chrome cleaner or polish to maintain their shine and luster.
Replacement: If the chrome shift boot plate becomes damaged, worn out, or fails to provide adequate support for the shift boot, it should be replaced. Replacement shift boot plates are available from us
