Yes, you adapt something similar and reuse the three tab ring. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Honda-Yamaha-Kawasaki-Suzuki-CLUTCH-CABLE-R...

In another thread, I suggest that a Mercury Marine Outboard shift bellow might work better:

It might but the bottom, where the boot attaches to the fire wall, is too narrow and would require additional materials and futzing to fit it. The Mercury Outboard boot will just need to be trimmed at one of the lower corrugations and sealed to the body.

I was wrong, it didn't need any trimming. But it will need a little sealing:

This is how it fits installed, no trimming of the boot, whatsoever. ( I just grabbed the edge of the boot from below with needle nose pliers and pulled it into the passenger compartment). Had to twist the bottom of the boot around because the top of the boot is so tight to the rod (a good thing) that I was winding up the rubber as I tried to get the end of the rod through the hole in the bell crank (and clip). Once I twisted the bottom appropriately, it was easy peasy(ish). Looks like a little sealant at the edge of the hole and I will be good to go.
