rob w Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 (edited) Does anyone recognise this airboot? My guess is that it is the same or similar to one from a Montesa twinshock. A customer asked me if I could replicate it. But it is split around the folds and will be very fidly (= expensive) to remake. I suspect that there would be a bettter one around if we can work out what it is. Someone might have even already have replica made. Thanks for you help Edited December 6, 2005 by Rob W Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kehin Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 Hello mate, you hav'nt give any dimensions, but how about using a steering rack or cv joint gator for the main body & making up the end piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiltshire_boy Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 Hi Rob, It looks identical to the one on my Montesa Cota 242 and mine split on the folds too. I tried numerous places to get a replacement without any luck and ended up using clear araldite, which stays flexible, to seal the splits. Someone did suggest asking in a specialist washing machine/hoover repair shop. HTH Roy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob w Posted December 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 (edited) Thanks guys - this is a wonderful place. I thought about dimensions but then thought that it was a fairly unique piece and someone would know what it was. Hey Roy, if I manage to replicate it, remind me that I owe you one. Thanks. Does anyone know if they can be had NOS anywhere? Edited December 7, 2005 by Rob W Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vintagecota Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 Is this close enough? http://mototema.com/tienda/index.php?cPath...7fdedc82a5d22c3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g4321 Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 Have a think about the drive shaft boot off a BMW R series boxer road bike. Looks roughly the same, but dont know about dimensions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
