SD 66 transfer case rubber boot

[Major Tom]

does anyone make a reproduction rubber boot for the 1966 transfer case ? if not does anyone have a used one in good condition they are willing to sell

Delconick said one was in the works possibly at Super Celebration last year, but I'm not sure where that stands as of now.

 

[Major Tom]

thanks, I will send him a PM and see what he knows

 

[Major Tom]

does anyone make something that is close, maybe something that needs to be trimmed to fit.

 

[okie4570]

Is there a part number on the boot somewhere? Mine is somewhat dry, has a crack and I've never been brave enough to remove it. The boot on my other 66' looks the same, but is fairly shiny still, so I'm assuming it's from something else.

 

[Major Tom]

I will look. I have it off ,but it is hard and somewhat compressed with a few cracks. don't want to try and straighten it out.

I had a company ready to make the tooling for me last year. Another member hijacked the thread, saying he was currently having one made, and the part would be available soon. It's been a year, and there's no part to be found. If I get enough interest, I'll contact the tool shop, and have it made. The initial cost was going to be closer to $100 for a low volume run (100 pieces I think)

I thought Drew aka Broncitis was having these made?

I would be interested in one or two. The boot on my son's 66 is probably not correct. He also has a boot on the Koenig winch level which I don't know if it's correct either. Does anyone have a photo of the correct one?

 

[Major Tom]

what are people using in place of the original ? could this one from the grave yard be trimmed to fit until a re pop is available ?

 

[delconick]

we are expecting them in stock next month. early may at the latest. if your looking for oem i may have one here but nothing to rave over. not much longer and all will be set!

i will be sure to post on this forum that they are in stock and they will be immediately on my website.

i have already had new stainless boot retainers made as well so they will make a killer combo!

 

[delconick]

the process to have them made took way longer then i expected. took even longer when i dissaprooved the first prototype! did that and it added another 4 months......


the pto winch boot is the same as the early production 66 shift boots which are the ones i am having made.

[BajaFresh75]

delconick, are you going to have the metal retainer too, or boot only?

 

[Major Tom]
