Air boot repair

Post by Fastwater » Mon Mar 23, 2009 4:19 pm

My air boots have some minor cracks near the filters.

How much with this effect my mixture and has anyone come up with a good repair technique?

Cheers.

They will be OK because there is a steel liner in those tubes. .............lm

Brilliant. Thanks LM!

Is there a certain point at which they will HAVE to be replaced?
Something I should be looking for?

hey guys, I too had put a crack in my hose when reinstalling it. My buddy who is a very OCD mechanic, told me to use Krazy Glue. Worked a charm.
