Home Made Boot Options

[72 IXXIV]

I have a side shift conversion in my '72 and I want to make a little boot for where the linkage comes out of the firewall.

Anyone have any good ideas for making a custom boot that does NOT require removing the linkage rod? I'm not looking for anything that's airtight or anything, just to keep splashing water from going into my center tunnel.

Any thoughts?

That's actually a photo of the URO reproduction of the factory pieces, it's a nice kit (p/n 914424501K).

All due respect but the only posts I have seen you make since joining this board have been specifically for self promotion which is somewhat frowned upon around here outside of the vendor forums.

I do very much appreciate the fact that you attempt to supply parts for our old cars however I think you might find this community more receptive if you interacted with us in ways other than spamming threads to gain free advertising. Perhaps having a dialog with us around our needs and/or improving your offerings.

Case and point, last year I purchased a pair of URO brand air box straps for my 924 turbo. They did not last 4 months before the rubber basically dissolved. Had a similar experience with URO brand control arm bushings for my e36 BMW. What is your expected lifetime for these parts and do you stand behind them in any way? Replacing the same parts again and again on a Porsche or BMW every 3 months starts to get old so maybe post about ways you are working to improve your product/changing the compounds you are using and let us know when that is done? Interactions like that might go a long way to improving your image around these parts.

Lots of things you could be posting about that would increase your business that go beyond just pointing out what you have available for sale every chance you get.
