A great part to have if you need one. I was tapped to make these awhile ago, and there looked like there was some interest in doing these. I plan to make them from silicone of a soft enough durometer to allow them to stretch easily. The flanges will be slightly larger to allow for a tighter fit. So there will be some improvements, but look pretty stock. They should be easier to install than stock. I try to make most of my stuff as close to factory as possible where it makes sense, and I think factory had it right as one piece.

Can you make a version that is longer than stock for those of us with /6 conversions using aftermarket bulkhead motor mounts? The stock ones usually rip to pieces when you try to stretch them to fit around the new mounts.

In addition to soapy water, glycerin is a great wire pulling lube. |

In addition to soapy water, glycerin is a great wire pulling lube. The cost to tool up for another version is the same as the 1st version, so the most cost effective way would be to use 2. The center section on one could be cut out, The other split. This would allow the center sections to be bunched up in the center, both ends installed and the center could be rolled over the ends. Additional glue could be added to seal. Should work well, and be easier to install than one long one. -Mark |
