Message: [QUOTE="FN74, post: 31378, member: 1247"] Not sure if it will help here or not, but going to throw out a MacGyver moment idea I had on a road trip once when I blew a boot, then couldn't keep it on with anything more then 10 psi of boost and no stores around. After about the 10th time in a mile of blowing the boots off(some big azz hill in eastern oregon on Hwy 26), I was about ready to let my truck just roll in neutral down the hill and call cab. :mad::mad: Well I did some digging around in my tool box and found a few hose clamps and extra boost clamps. So I Put a boost clamp on the boot AND one on the metal pipe. I undid the hose clamps so they were basically metal straps. Then I ran the straps between the two boost clamps, under them, spaced 180 apart, then folded the ends of the straps back over the top of the clamps, and tightened the boost clamps. This mechanically tied the two clamps together, one hold the pipe itself, and one sealing the boot. This allowed me to finish my 3,000 mile road trip without ever blowing another boot and thus not having to sabotage my truck out of anger. :D One doesn't have to be quite so Hillbilly about it, but using 2 pieces of strapping material, flat riveting, or even tack welding them to a pair of clamps where one is on the boot and one is on the pipe I would think would work out pretty damn well. No Hairspray needed so the boots can be removed. And oil doesn't much matter either. Any of that make sense? [/QUOTE]
