Time for an update...

I have used Rescue Tape to seal off the small slits in the CV boots (inner). And it is holding up. I have no photos to post on this at the moment. But I will work on it. One note on using this sealing tape for this application - I had to use plastic zip ties to hold the "high end" of the tape in place (where the boot clamp sits... it rolled into the valley of the first groove). It held on one boot, but rolled on the other, as noted. So I removed the rolled up tape today and gave it a fresh wrapping, then secured it on the boot clamp with some zip ties. It was an easy field fix. I definitely recommend keep a roll or two of this stuff in your tool bag! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

Make over... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />

My Sporty's paint job was tired. The clear coat was gone in areas, I had one white fender on a forest green body and the green color was too dark for life in sunny California. So I gave it a "make over" with some rattle-can truck bed liner. I didn't want anything dark. And I found out that Rust-o-leum made the same kind of spray can truck bed line that I had used on the bumpers and tire/cargo rack in TAN!!! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" /> Note: My goal was to have a durable paint job that isn't "pretty" (so I won't cry over scuffs and scratches) and can be touched up easy... like with a spray can!

And after a good bit of prep work followed by 24 cans of bed liner, my Sporty looks like this...
