Where to buy - front outer CV - kits with boot (Syncro)

If that isn't enough, I found my spare protectors. The are new and uninstalled. It should ne noted that the
the brackets are not flat. There is an angle built into the piece.

The rubber is easily replaceable anyway.

I can send you some templates if you can draw them for me and make them into a .jpg or .gif, I will put them on my web site for the rest of the members.

Email me your postal address.

Gday BenT,

Realistically, for most Oz driving and climatic conditions and for a
home handyman to make a set or three of these CV boot protectors, the
brackets should simply be a reasonable grade of sheet metal cut and bent
to shape and protected with POR15 paint ... end of story.

I think the greatest service someone could do for the syncro community
would be to make available accurate schematic diagrams and pics in the
files section of any/all syncro forums so handy people with time on
their hands could have a stab at making their own .... sounds like a
potential handymans delight!

Cheers.

Ken

If Michael draws them, I'll put them on the web.

You're right about the steel Ken. People from the north don't understand that we don't salt the roads here. Mine have been on probably longer than any in the US (18 years) and there is no rust.

In any event, POR 15 is quite exceptionally good, as Ken always points out.  Ordinary mild steel and POR 15 will last forever in Australia.

You've heard the song "It never rains in Southern California..." It isn't so true 400 miles north in San Francisco but it is relatively dry compared to  other places in this vast Country. Rust is not a major concern here either. Even in snowy areas 200 miles east of SF vehicles do ok because we do not salt roads in this part of the US. I'm guessing those guys who use stainless steel do it because just because it sound sexy. =) Most of the highend Syncros in the US are babied by their owners. One particular fellow in know puts his Syncro Westy in the climate controlled garage whilst his Testarossa & NSX took turns sitting outside in the weather.

BenT,

So this local guy you speak of still has a home and garage eh. Lucky
him. Must be a broker, banker or real estate agent eh haha.

Over here, I doubt there's even one similar type salted road anywhere
... driving a beach tidal zone would be as close as it gets. And that's
not very clever either. For such a unique vehicle, seems a shame so many
US syncros rust out prematurely due to the dreaded salt.

Heh at least you'll have lots of syncro pic albums to drool over on the
rocking chair, shedding the odd tear for the passing of the T25 syncro
era, most going to salt laden, metal crusher heaven.

BenT,

So this local guy you speak of still has a home and garage eh. Lucky
him. Must be a broker, banker or real estate agent eh haha.

Over here, I doubt there's even one similar type salted road anywhere
...  driving a beach tidal zone would be as close as it gets. And that's
not very clever either. For such a unique vehicle, seems a shame so many
US syncros rust out prematurely due to the dreaded salt.

Heh at least you'll have lots of syncro pic albums to drool over on the
rocking chair, shedding the odd tear for the passing of the T25 syncro
era, most going to salt laden, metal crusher heaven.

Ken,
 
The fellow I was referring to has an impressive garage. His home garage is not only climate controlled but
comes with a bathroom with a urinal. His auxiliary garage is a few miles away at his corporation yard. It is
about 50,000 sqft. Yep, that's indoor storage just for his vehicles. There you will find a full-szie RV for each
type of activity he likes to indulge in. He apparently doesn't like to unpack his gear. He is not a broker or
real estate agent. He's actually in the trucking business.
 
I forgot to mention that we do have our own rustbelt even in the San Francisco area. That title belongs to a
little hamlet called Pacifica. It looks charming and is popular with the cold water surfing crowd. However, the
summers bring damp air laden with salt from the Pacific Ocean. That airborned acid gets inside vehicles even
inside closed garages. A few months in that environment and your car body turns into iron oxide lace. 
 
Thankfully, the destruction doesn't go over the top of the Skyline Ridge. A mile away and you are A-OK.
