>> Guys:
>>
>> Thanks a lot for all the thought, and help on finding these terminal boot 
>> covers, terminal insulators, or weatherproof boots. At least now I've got 
>> a few names to use during my hunt.
>>
>> Of all the suggestions, I think the best is to check with the auto 
>> electrical shop that provided the 140 amp Toyo alternator for me. I bet 
>> they're going to have the boots.
>>
>> I've gone to my local auto parts stores, and got blank stares from an 
>> assortment of counterguys. Lots of blank stares, by lotsa guys and gals. 
>> No one laughed however!
>>
>> I've also requested catalogs from just about every vendor that has been 
>> mentioned. So that's going to be a big help down the road.... literally.
>>
>> Now for my next problem....
>>
>> I want to change out my drive shaft U-joints to a 'joint that has a zerk 
>> fitting. I've gone thru our beloved SOBill's Gearhead database, and then 
>> took those numbers to the parts stores (along with one of my drive 
>> shafts). Unfortunately my 'joints are larger than the Gearhead part 
>> numbers show. My bearing cups are 1.250 inches in diameter, and 
>> approximately 4.160" across from cup end to cup end. The stock 'joints 
>> show a 1.125" cup diameter, and quite a bit smaller across the cups.
>>
>> This would seem to indicate that my 'shafts are larger than normal (that 
>> is NOT a straight line for Larry C). So my new question is:
>>
>> Does anyone have a part number or suggestion regarding a heavy duty drive 
>> shaft zerk fitting u-joint that has 1.250" diameter cups, and is 
>> approximately 4.160" across the cups?
>>
>> Thanks again,
>>

>>> Guys:

>>>
>>> You've seen these I'm sure. Usually your alternator will have these on

>>>
>>> And I can NOT think of the correct name. I've looked thru the DigiKey

>>> Mouser catalogs, the Summit catalog, even the Painless Wiring on line
>>> catalog. All with a total lack of success.
>>>
>>> So if anyone can point me in the right direction, I shall be forever
>>> grateful....
