December 6, 200520 yr 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, 200520 yr by Rob W
December 6, 200520 yr 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.
December 6, 200520 yr 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.
December 7, 200520 yr Author 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, 200520 yr by Rob W
December 7, 200520 yr Is this close enough? http://mototema.com/tienda/index.php?cPath...7fdedc82a5d22c3
December 7, 200520 yr 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.
