This is quite a long shot but a guy has to start somewhere....
I only recently found out that a bench seat 4 speed X body in the years mentioned above would have a small trim piece around the hole in carpet to finish it off. Has anyone ever seen one, and if so, any idea if it was ever reproduced?
A guy mentioned this on another forum, and posted a picture.
I've been looking at that one but a guy who tried one says it didn't fit well. And that listing is wrong. The one shown only fits 64. Mine is the same as 65-66 Impala but it's never been reproduced.

Below looks like a good match to at least the 65 type boot. But at 75 USD for a piece of plastic... it's just stupid. Is the listing below misleading? It says Impala bench 64-66?

Of course, you're probably already following this thread on CT, right?
The picture is supposedly a nova ring on a 65 B with said original bench boot. To my eye it looks to be a fair fit, no? A half inch top and side isn't that bad.
It would certainly do for now... At least until we get our own in-house 3D printing guru here.
I wonder how you would go about starting to talk to, and perhaps convincing a big USA Impala parts house to reproduce some bench rings and boots?
