69RR non console 4spd shifter boot bezel. Original has 8 screws and all I’m finding is like 4 screw ones. Am I not looking in the right place? I’ll have my original re chromed if need be. Thanks peeps.

Have you tried Brewer Performance?
Do you have an original that has 8 holes? All of the ones that I have seen have 4 holes. If you have an 8 hole one, please show us a picture.
The boots have 8 holes. Non console. Shifter Boot 1968-69 B-Body Non Console, Shifter Boots/Trim Rings, 171-SB132-NC Reproduction, NOS and Used Mopar Muscle Car Parts
If it's in good shape, have it rechromed. Small parts aren't cheap but it might be worth it.

I’m lucky to have a good friend that does chrome plating and such. I went to a show last month and there was a couple 4spd cars with four screw bezels and I couldn’t stop looking at them
It looks like all the holes in yours are chamfered so the screw heads are countersunk. It's not like someone just drilled extra holes.
Wow, I would save that one and have it re chromed. Cool original piece. Thanks for the picture.
That 8 hole boot is a lower boot for a console 4 speed. Non console cars may have 8 holes in the boot but the trim rings are 4 bolt. I think the OEM 8 bolt lower console boot rings were just plain steel not stainless or chrome.

Most likely something to that but I do believe it is original to the car and maybe a factory goof up. There is a pn of 295007-53495 on the ring. Extra holes in hump appear even/round and factory drilled.
Did all non console cars have eight holes in the hump and just use four screws? Maybe that’s the deal.

4 screws on all trim bezels I have seen and owned. Never ever saw 8 hole trim bezels and I doubt you will find one
I think you are misunderstanding what you have. Like stated above, a non-console boot has 8 holes. It goes between the metal hump and the carpet. It is held to the body with 4 screws. Then the chrome trim ring, held on with 4 chrome screws, covers up the ragged carpet edge. These 4 screws go through the extra 4 in the bottom boot.
This is what I think you are showing a pic of, it is a bottom boot for a console car. Totally different animal.

Boot with plate w/o console 2950074
Boot with plate with console 2996454
Trim ring w/o console 2534511
Screws quantity 4 all applications 9415537
So all boots should of had a plain steel plate. The ones w/o console got the chrome trim ring. Looks like all only took 4 screws no matter what car line or application. Could 4 of been used on the boot in the other holes. Might of been. I cant remember. 8 holes in the shift tunnel makes it sure seem like 8 could of been used. Parts manual just shows 4. So who knows.
Poster most likely is missing the chrome trim ring.
