Thanks for the suggestion guys!
Dave.....you may have found it?
Not sure how this one works AJ ?
Guess I'll do a drive by at my local mechanic buddy at the garage.....see if I can borrow his CV boot clamp pliers for a moment? Probably no need to buy it as I'll only need to use it once?
Still working on the car......not on the road yet? Still got 7 or 8 weeks till I gotta put it back in storeage (again)? eek
Got it on!
Just needed an extra pair of hands.
Used needle nose pliers and fought thru it.
If anyone is looking for a replacement boot for their rag style steering shaft (since the origianls have long been discontinued)...Mike's Montes has them available.
It's not exactly the right size...is 2" od instead of 2.25" OD, but it looks OEM stock. Just needed a bit of tweaking to fit better.
I used a 2 1/4" O ring x 1/8" and used special Loctite adhesive...bon
ded to the oustided of the boot which will keep it centred in the housing....the
n just filled and smoothed the void with the right stuff......let it cure and bent over the (4) securing tabs.
Could have used a gear clamp....but wanted to keep the stock(ish) look of the original.
I had to remove the jeep steering shaft as it was virtually touching the header pipe.
