    Thanks for your tip but it will be hard getting this boot here in germany.
    but i`ll look. What size is the hole?
    I got my traction bars today and the quality is not good.
    Welding is weak and the edges are sharp like hell.
    I´ll make a duplicate of it in stainless steel.
    Thanks also to sobz, nice car thank you for the pictures.
    This forum is the best thing that could have happenend to me.
    All the information from you guys!
    THANK YOU VERY MUCH! :thumbsup: :dance:

    Bye Jerry

    I am also using the truck boots. The car had the slit inner tube originally. I guess it's because "it never rains in southern California." (Isn't that what the song said? :)

    While I know the folklore of using an (truck tire) inner tube, I thought that was only the earliest fabrications and a technique of repairing the seal in subsequent years. What was the time span of the use of the elongated pyramidal shape boot? I have an extra pair in fair condition I was thinking to use as a guide in casting new ones. One of the boots on 6S296 has had the attaching face too buggered up to be much use.
