Just made me remember something :oops:
Some years back I had a fail on a boot rubber,like yours it only had a small slit and was not rotten.

Cleaned it up (without removing) and put a patch on it from my bike puncture repair kit :lol:

Hi Dave999,

How did you get on ref the Universal boot, did it fit ?

Working on the brakes of the VH and saw a split in the upper boot. hence as theres some mixed dialogue on this......is it an MOT fail or not ? hence replace or patch if it is.

Thanks for the pm I pick up the master cylinder probably Saturday from Justin.

How it's going Dave :thumbright:
If it came apart that easy, you have to wonder if the taper was seated proper.
I always use a small clamp to pull them both together and then tighten the nut.

id suggest the bigger ones extra large

the middle one (large) i got was ok but the bigger would be better. you need the length

and frankly you can't beat a proper repro of the original plastic and rubber thingy...

but to get you out of a corner

yes ok will see you for a few years
