Default Clutch slave cylinder boot

While rebuilding my 87 roadster I tore the old rubber boot when taking the clutch slave cylinder off. I haven't been able to locate one in all the usual places (midAmerica, Central Corvette, Ecklers, Summit etc). Anybody have an ideas?

Thanks

If the tear is not realy bad, you can use the gasket maker on a tube and patch it back up, it worked great for me.

I hadn't thought of that, but it might work. It was just the center piece that goes around the end of the slave cylinder that tore.

thanks
