It's not hard at all. All you have to do is source a 986 boot to mate to the 987 knob, because the 987 boot doesn't work with it on the 986. The boot from your standard pistol grip knob won't work because it doesn't come off the knob itself. Only the upgraded aluminum knobs have boots that come off the knobs. Thus, you would need to source both the 986 upgraded leather boot, and the 987 knob. You could then just separate the boot from the 987 knob (there's just a ring clip that holds it on the knob), and then transfer it onto the 986 boot.

The 987 knob itself fits perfectly on the shift shaft without any need to modify it. It just presses on.
