67 bug generator connector boot

[8bit Innovations]

My 67 bug generator will be replaced with a correct push terminal unit. However, our mechanic states that over the spade connectors there should be a rubber boot for rust protection, and I’m having a hard time finding a seller for this. Does anyone know here where can I find those boots for sale?

The push terminal generator did not have any rubber boots for the terminals.

^^^ this ^^^ mukluk spot on!

8bit Innovations, what your mechanic was probably referring to by "a rubber boot" over the spade connectors is most likely a common rubber (plastic?) heat shrink tubing piece sized to properly cover the 2 female spade connectors. But..as already pointed out, the original factory set up didn't use anything such as "boots" or heat shrinking over the 2 female spade connectors on the '67 - '68 generators. I'd bypass your mechanic's advice for installing "boot" protection there, as it's overkill. If absolutely necessary, just occasionally take a small wire brush or emery cloth to shine things up on those connectors if it worries you.

Now I know why I was definitely having a hard time finding those, they don’t exist! Now I can sleep well knowing that the generator won’t be missing parts or protective hardware. Thanks to everyone for helping me out with this one!

Some people like using them some don't. I personally like them.

I used a sparkplug wire end to rig my own (alternator) boot for the heavy gauge B+ wire:
