Title: 1966 230sl rear axle split boot
Post by: bconley759 on September 18, 2025, 12:42:52

Looking for the clamping tool to install the staples on the split boot. I hate to pay the purchase price they're offering online for a one time use. Anyone out there willing to sell, rent, borrow???

Somewhere in my parts bin I have an unused split boot.
I bought this 25 years ago in anticipation of using it, however with the rear axle OUT of the car and everything being rebuilt the restorer used a solid boot.
I was not aware one needed a special staple assembly, I thought it was just clamps.

However I just looked it up. At Authentic Classics, they will loan you the tool.

Check them out.
