Looking for Chrome shift boot Retaining Ring for 4 speed

Any idea if this was a factory option or if anyone is reproducing these retaining rings in chrome? I suppose I could have mine chromed but would rather pick up another if they are available and reasonable.

Thanks,
Tony

I think you'll have to chrome yours. They didn't come that way.

I didn't think it was a factory option but thought maybe it was being reproduced in chrome.
Thanks for the response. I may have to send it out to be chromed with a few other goodies over the winter.

I could be wrong,but I don't believe transfer case boot rings are reproduced at all. They're pretty well sought after original parts. And hey Mel,how the heck did you end up with my boot ring. Please return ASAP
