BDSchindler Posted December 26, 2014 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?
chunkypeanutbutter Posted December 26, 2014 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.
southpier Posted December 27, 2014 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:
southpier Posted December 27, 2014 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.

Anybody have any thoughts? OK...let me clarify... CV Boot rack and pinion boots I think the sprew/Dremel idea may be the best one for what I am looking for...thanks guys for the help
