Re: Cracking rubber boots

[Aribert_Neumann@magna.on.ca]

My experience with most replacement rubber parts that I've purchased for
various LBCs (and a several other nonLBC old cars) is that the suppliers
appear to cut a few corners and do not use the appropriate additives (such
as UV stabilisers, etc).  After 4 years the replacement boot on my 78 Spit
R&P split in two.  The original boot on the opposite side looks very
weathered but is still in one piece without any thru holes.
