[FWDLK] Need to borrow someone's spare driveline rubber "dust shield"

[Eastern Sierra Adjustment Svc <esierraadj@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

As we all should know, this tubular-triangular corrugated-rubber  guy  
is not a  grease seal, but serves to protect....
(very temporarily, before it quickly self-destructs, and which also 
happens to be a beotch  to install).... the driveline's
front trunion-joint,  from road dirt, etc.

I've checked around, and can't seem to find one for sale, right now.

I'm thinking that I could get a local leather shop to make a fully 
functional facsimile of this guy, which might lace-up
around itself, as I have heard that there have been leather dust boots 
created, in the past.

If someone will lend me an example, I will have my shop (if it can be 
done, and I don't see why it couldn't be
done) use it as a template to make up a "permanent" leather dust boot, 
and will give the 'lender' a free copy
of the leather-guy (along with the return of his rubber-boot!)

If this project works out, I'll refer the rest of y'all to that shop, 
which will have the template(s) to reproduce these
dust boots.

...Unless, of course, someone can steer me to a shop which is ALREADY 
capable of turning out these leather 'boots'.
