When I upgraded my shifter I wanted to hang onto the original knob as well. I went to an upholstery shop and had a boot made of genuine leather for $60 IIRC. It came out really nice and is unique to my vehicle. It tells the story of where the car has been and I had good conversation with the shop owner too.

Just to follow up, I came across a nice tequipment weighted knob on eBay at a price I couldn’t resist. Should be arriving tomorrow. If I don’t like it, I’ll re-list it and pursue one of these boot options. Many thanks for the ideas!

The knob arrived with the base/set screw torn off. So it's going back and the search continues.

I'm thinking one of the ICT knob boot combos or a raceseng circuit sphere.
