Please post up some pics from as many angles as you can. As mentioned before I had no real issues other than being slightly too close on the left side of stock hole position, and a quick jerk took care of that. The boot covered but not by a lot IIRC. Maybe a PO has clocked (rotated) the Transfer Case ?

We went through a very similar conversation here a few months ago, but it was for a Dana 20 . I took some pictures of what I did. A fairly simple job really. Follow the link below. The fix is for a Dana 20 in an intermediate Jeep, but the idea is the same. Since the thread I've welded the patch to the factory cover:

i was thinking of doing something similar, tracing the old boot to make a plate then just cutting hole for the new sticks...the more i look at it, deff. looks like it may cover if i didnt have the tcase drop....ill see if i can get pics.

- 1981 cj7, 304 ,4 speed,twin sticked d300, amc20 with solid axles, Dana 30 , 33-12.5 tires, PsC BFH Front bumper with 8500lb Ramsey wench.
Pictures would really help but what I am doing with my twin stick install is.... I pulled the one tunnel cover of and traced it onto a piece of aluminum diamond plate, I also traced the hole for my manual tranny shifter and cut this all out. I also made a cardboard template... When I get my twin stick installed I am going to start with a small hole on the card board template and keep trimming until it fits the way I want and the shifter boots cover. Then I will use the card board template to finish the diamond plate new tunnel cover. Hope this helps. When I'm done ill post pics.

The Transfer Case drop is an alternative to using shims( and other methods). I ended up not needing them on my 8 because of the longer wheelbase, but I've heard guys talk about using 2 1/2 and 4 degree shims on 7's. There are a thread or two describing how to figure out what shim you need.
