Clutch Fork Boot

Working on my 71 Jeepster build and I can't seem to find a boot for the clutch fork. It has the 225 and T14 with the bell housing that doesn't need the adapter. There were two sets of #s on the old boot 994895 and HJ4748. It measures 4" x 3.5".

 

994895 is the Jeep PN. If you found nothing when searching for that number, there is no modern aftermarket replacement. Unlikely you will find NOS, though it's probably the same as the same-year CJ. I would buy whatever is currently made for Jeeps and see if I could adapt it.

 

Would the boot in this thread work?

I think I figured out why I was having a hard time finding this. I measured the old boot which was deformed. I measured the bell housing hole and came up with 3.75 x 3.75 and searched that and came up with this Rubber Clutch Fork Boot (3-3/4 X 3-3/4) Fits 66-71 CJ-5, 6 with V6-225 Going to get it ordered and see how it fits.

 

I was Just on Walcks site @ Walck's 4 Wheel Drive | Jeep Restoration Parts for 1941-1971 Willy's, CJs, VJ, Kaiser, and AMC -..... They seem to have different sizes & specialize in the older Jeeps . Maybe you could check there, for reassurance ?? Just my - After All.... We're Neighbors !!!

 

I think I found one at Walck's, just waiting for it to get here. Never heard of White City I had to look it up. Guess we are neighbors!

 

A Lot of History here. On the South Shore of Lake Ontario, Just up the hill from Summerville . BTW, what kinda Rig are you in , jackdog ??? OH , sorry about the question.... I just saw that your rebuilding a '71. Great year for Jeeps, IMHO .
