Twin stick shifter boots that don't disintegrate?

[CruisinGA]

I put in a @orangefj45 H42 and split case ~18 months ago with Advance Adapters twin stick shifters. It's all gravy except the AA twin stick shifter boots crack and start coming apart in a few months, I've been through two of them and both were the same.

anyone found a better option?

They must have changed suppliers or something, because my original AA boot is still good after 14 years. I don't know of any other off the top of my head, but you could check at Marlin Crawler, they sell a bunch of doubled transfer cases and etc. I'm also thinking that it wouldn't be super difficult to make one out of leather. Good luck in any event.

I replaced my single stick boot several times after the vinyl deteriorated so this last time, I sewed up my own boot using a high-quality marine vinyl. Maybe you could do something similar. Or even leather like 1911 suggested.

I made the boot for my single shift lever out of a piece of use waterproof tent floor. Drilled out the pop rivet's, cut the seams on the worn boot, laid it out as the template. Cut the fabric, sewed it up with paracord tie for the shaft. Put the boot in the metal brackets and pop riveted it back together. I think its still there and in good shape after like 20+ years.
