Title: Need Rubber Boots
Post by: FourTravelers on May 05, 2016, 08:56:59 pm
Not referring to the "high water" kind ....... but rather the rubber "T" boots that connect the ride height adjustment valves.
I have found some rebuild  "Kits" available but all I want to do is replace the old rubber T's.
Does anyone have a source for these?  I apologize if I have missed this in a search.

I used crutch/chair leg tips. I think they were about 1". I drilled about five holes in the tip. I used cotton packing salvaged from pill bottles. That solution has worked for a couple of years. They eventually fall off. So do the "real" covers.

Edit: Do'h! OP was looking for the "T" boots for the valves rather than the exhaust boots. Look down the thread for more appropriate answers to the original question.

Sorry ,,,,,,, suppose I wasn't clear, not the dust boots but the "T" boots that connect the connecting rods on the valve arm to the frame.
There are two boots per valve.

You're welcome.

You want to know my secret (I learned this from someone else on this Forum - don't remember who): put your search parameter in the Google box, hit enter, then select "images".  It is much easier to look for pictures, rather than read through a bunch of text.
