  • Air box boot repair ideas?

    There is a crack along the circumference of one of my air box boots where the hose clamp goes on. I tried to use seal-all and a piece of rubber inner tube but it would not stick. It must be a good hold because the hose clamp will split it open. Any ideas? It seems that boots are hard to come by. Thanks. Doug

    I would buy some of this:

    And clean the rubber well with alcohol first. Apply a layer of tape and allow to overlap.

    Get a larger clamp if needed.
