Rubber boots

[Ellin jack]

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?

This is what I have done for shifter boots, same principle but with discs cut out, ( I have a small die punch for this) glued together and a little extra paint to make them look like one piece.

For R&P boots small O-rings work to

heat shrink tubing.

usually shrinks to 50% of its size. so 1/8" will end up 1/16" after the heat tratment.

while the adhesive variety is good for 1:1 wiring, et cetera, sometimes the adhesive squeezes out so i would stick with the "non" for scale work.

one [other] caution: do not use open flame. too hard to control & you may damage surrounding areas. you've been warned!

The GMC  Sonoma purple truck on the box has a pair of boots in the box and a snow board

Would this work? I used it for a shift boot, it's the end of the micro brush stick.

With the truck I'm working on, I just wrapped some wire around the end of the piece of tubing I'm using for a rack and put a couple coats of semi-gloss black on it.
