Hi all,

Please keep answers on list as I’ve wanted new boots for these connectors but just can’t find them.  I also did electrical tape and it is a mess.  and I was told use heat shrink but I’d just like to have the real boots.

Hey Everybody,
At the recommendation of this group I sent the injectors for Artie my 84 w/
GW 2.2 off to WitchHunter to get them refurbished. Seemed like a good
service and price plus after 33 years probably needed to be done. :)

While I have them off I am going through a few other things like removing
the metal collector and painting, checking lines (though just replaced a
few years ago) and leading to my question - checking the electrical
connector.

The rubber boot that fits over the yellow plug on mine are split and
cracking. When I did my fuel lines I wrapped in electrical tape but that
isn't holding up. Was thinking sealing with some liquid rubber? or removing
all together? Not sure...

I can't seem to find a source for these boots as well so wanted to see if
there are any ideas on where or what to do?

Thanks
