If I remember right, one of the last boosters I sent to that guy in Texas needed a boot and he said they were NLA but he had an alternate he used. This might be a picture of it.
Sorry, those are the best I have.

After doing a search here, there, and everywhere, I could not find an online seller. I ended up finding square oring seal and rubber cemented to the inside of outer-most band of the bellows and it fits tightly around plastic collar groove. Since it just has atmospheric pressure from servo it should do its job keeping out the crap kicked up by front tires.

I had my booster rebuilt and had to find a replacement. My boot was ripped in a few spots.
I posted a wanted ad in the classifieds. It took a few months, but I finally found one. If you want an original boot, post a want ad. Eventually, someone out there will see it and sell you one. |

Non OE boots are available. The company that did the rebuild on my '72 booster installed one. It looks pretty good. It is only a dust cover so the material needs not be thick. I'll bet if you call a rebuilder and tell them what you need they may sell it to you. I used these guys.
