So I bought a used boot for my '82 off of Ebay to replace the torn one on the rear bank of the engine. I thought maybe it got torn because of just simple age but the front is fine. NOW I understand how it got torn. That thing is so friggin tight on there it's quite a PITA to get on. So my question is... I noticed there is a different design for the QV boots and wondered if those would fit the '82? Not that I'm planning on replacing the boot anytime soon... but I'm hoping maybe the new design was made because the old design kind of sucks.
I have a couple of spare boots for a 1982 model. I have an 85 and don't use the boots with my setup. PM me if you are interested.
