    68 Shift Boot and Bezel

    I have a 68 Mustang that was originally automatic. It now has a T5 manual. Are the transmission tunnel shift boot bolt patterns the same for an automatic and manual? Trying to find a shift boot and bezel and the one I have definitely doesn't fit. I'm not sure what it is from. If they are the same bolt pattern I will buy one for a 68, if not, what works?

    I bought a 70 manual shifter boot and bezel for my 66 with a T5.  I had to modify the bezel opening because I have a performance T5 shifter with the positive stops which is larger and taller than a stock T5 shifter base.
