Rubber boots for push button solenoid

Post by rolesyboy »

Is there a supplier for the small rubber boots that cover the terminals where the battery and starter cables bolt to the push button solenoid? I can’t find them but I’m sure somebody on here has a link
Thanks. Mark

In the past i could not find suitable solenoid boot .. so purchased a new Durite Starter Solenoid ( put that into stock ) & used the New Boot onto the old solenoid .. the new boot was a bit slack in fit but does the job..

Also squirt some WD40 down the sides of the push in shaft as the Lucas Starter Solenoid can Corrode within & stops the coil wire making earth .. i tried & the Lucas Solenoid cannot be repaired due to the design of the solenoid crimped case.
