Q: I still need advice about the clamp for the small end of the boot. Can
the
old clamp be taken off and reused?
A: I just use big bundle ties on my boots. They have lasted several
years. I've seen mini clamps and the OEMs reused. All you need is a clean
surface under the seak so thay don't slide or leak.
