BDSchindler Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Looking for either a commercial product or fabrication to replicate/simulate rubber boots used on suspension and drive trains (such as on a rack and pinion or cv boots) in 1/24th scale. Anybody have any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chunkypeanutbutter Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 If you have a Dremel, you can chuck a piece of parts tree sprue in it and go at it with files or an X-Acto knife to make some. I've done it to make shifter boots, CV boots, and steering parts, as well as 8-ball shifter knobs and plastic bottles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southpier Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 my reading for comprehension suffers from time to time ... but if I understand the question, and you have one end of the assembly accessible (i.e., not attached to anything), this might work: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southpier Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 if not, maybe this: but with #2 you'd probably need the piece already formed; I don't see it being able to be carved cleanly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
