The ebay results i get searching for C2AZ-7277-A show me two replacement units, but neither have the four holes for screws in them.
Would appreciate if somebody could provide a direct link to a well priced but quality replacement part thats correct?

Drill your own holes to match up with your trim ring.

When I installed the boot, I installed from the top and actually stretched it over the reverse lockout arms, one side at a time. This was easier for me than installing it from the bottom. YMMV.

If needed you can contact Sunbeam Specialties and get one of their reproduction boots for the Sunbeam Tiger shifter. It's made of thinner, more compliant rubber and doesn't put as much pressure on the shifter that can cause it to kick out of gear. Not expensive either - about $23. It was much more compliant than the one that came with my ERA.

Sunbeam Specialties - Number 1 Source for Rootes Sunbeam Alpine-Tiger Parts. We carry the most extensive range of mechanical, hydraulic, upholstery and restoration parts available.

Got the ebay unit and the four holes are there (I was worried drilling them would create a tear point). They are just covered with a thin layer or rubber that you pierce.

For future reference, after you removed the shifter ball, there is an Allen screw inside the top of the shifter lever that unscrews to unlock the lockout lever so you can slide it out the side of the handle for easy boot replacement.

different shifter
 
I changed the forward style shifter to a short 5 1/2" from Cobra Restorers. Also cut off the "non-functional" reverse handles and made a leather sleeve to cover the entire shifter right up to the ball.
The two shifter bolts were very easy to get to from the top side. Locktite made the first few turns tight but still an easy exchange.

Maybe on the shift lever from SPF, but the original Ford lever retained the top sleeve at the lockout mechanism at the bottom, where the cable was was brazed to the lockout "tang".
