Shifter Linkage Boots (2 Viewers)

[onesprung60]

I searched and couldn't find anything. I am looking for the rubber boots that cover the joints for the 3-speed column shift linkage, and it looks like the boots for the t-case linkage are the same boot.

Anyone have a source for these, I have looked at the parts fische and I can't find anywhere that they are available separately, the whole joint is available, but they are pretty pricey. The circled part in the picture is what I am looking for.

Thanks,

Anybody have a source for these?

I imagine it comes as a part of the connector assembly 33740 or 33750, depending on which end you need

Ant, I have been looking for a couple of years including keeping my eyes open for anything close. I have 3 good ones and need the rest, including the ones for my hi/lo firewall linkage to the transfer. Hope someone responds.

i found some but it's hard to say if they will work and at $6 and $3 bucks a piece and shipping from the UK i was hesitant to try it out. I was curious if anyone else had found anything.

I will e-mail the company for dimensions and ID of the ends

Why not try a spark plug boot?

 

[antFJ]

I thought about spark plug boots but i thought they wouldn't hold grease in and keep dirt out

I ended up buying the first boot. 8 bucks a piece but shipping was like 30 bucks from England. Anyone know a place in the US that sells lotus parts. A quick trim and it fits perfect. The end is completely sealed.

Anyone know a place in the US that sells lotus parts.

Ant, this is pure spit-balling but you might try Caterham USA. They sell a kit that I understand is closely related to the Lotus Seven. Maybe they could help you out.

part number for the lotus boot is A082F4149F on the website lotus car spares, parts and accessories, genuine lotus spares and parts, own brand lotus spares and parts

I never tried the us location that Jay mentioned. Sounds like it might be the way to go if they have the boots.

I don't understand why shipping would be 30 bucks? I just got some parts from France for my other car in a padded envelope for 2 Euro. You could fit 20 of these boots in the same envelope. I am glad someone found a boot that works!
