[AT] Shifter boot repair

[k7jdj at aol.com]

 Thanks for the tip.  I haven't been as successful in my use of flex-seal but it's been about 30 years since I last used some.  I seem to recall once opened it needs to be used as there didn't seem to be a way to seal the container once opened.

Subject: [AT] Shifter boot repair

I noticed that the shifter boot on my Allis C was showing some splits around the top and more around the skirt. At some point I'll pick up a new one but wanted to do a temp patch on this one. I have a small can of that "Flex-Seal" stuff on hand even though I don't have a rowboat to glue back together.  :-)  It really is extremely tough stuff.Anywho, I grabbed it and a 1" foam brush and gave this boot a quick coat and it looks and feels amazing. I will give the top another coat to fill the cracks a bit more but it is sealed well now. It actually looks much better in person than in this picture. The stuff cures very wet and shiny looking and the whitish looking patches in the picture are really just reflections.I also dabbed a bit on a spot on the tired steering wheel and decided that I will patch the wheel with some JB-Weld then coat it with the Flex Seal. Even though it looks wet and slick it is an excellent grip surface and is recommended for dipping tool handles.
