I wonder what it cost to get something that produced?

it's a cryin' shame, really. all around
those 6600's don't quite fit the 6500 correctly. if one is desperate??
professionally, i'm sure it'd cost a bundle (relatively) to have them produced. however, there are materials to make one's own auto bushings. some material akin to that and one could make hoods. it's the mold to make them that would be tricky. otoh, there are heat shrink tubes.....large somewhat thick/durable ones....i have seen that might fit over the shifter body and shrink down. trim it up and it could maybe work. it's another idea i've toyed with
