Hi Max
These are the boots that I used. http://www.zenith.aero/photo/steering-boots?context=user
The steering boots are from a USA company called Omix-Ada part No. 18606.06
Available from aftermarket Jeep centers uch as http://www.quadratec.com/products/52253_002.htm

I have noticed that Spruce now sells a fire proof boot. http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/eppages/shifterboot.php

Max---

I would strongly recommend that you use something fireproof. The boot is mounted on your FIREwall. If you use a standard automotive part and then have an engine compartment fire, that boot will be gone in seconds and the flames and fumes will enter the passenger compartment. Either use a sliding metal seal or else try the fireproof boot from Aircraft Spruce. My suggestion...........

Max--

Look at the thread titled "Steering Linkage Boots?" in the Zodiac forum section. There is a lot of information there, including pictures of a sliding metal seal that I think is much better than a boot type seal.
