Has anyone found a source for, or a replacement for the rubber boot that protects the threaded terminals and power-feed wire connectors at the fuel pump?

I have had to repair these power-feed wires but the rubber boots have hardened and cracked so much as to be serviceable. There is what appears to be a Porsche part number on the boot (477971920), but I cannot raise that part number in any of my parts-find resources.

I think Roger has found those boots.

But we're still looking for the part number for the boot that covers the oil level connection on the top of the oil pan.

how often do you replace the pump? you could make sure the connectors do not have any oxidation and then put a sealing compound on it.

477971920 is no longer a good number with Porsche - seems more like a VW/Audi number but does not check out there either.

I have never found a good alternative I can buy in quantity. Some of the generic fuel pumps come with exactly the same rubber cap but they have no part number for reference.

I bought some boots and other rubber stuff from this supplier:

Boots are an almost fit but work.

I have larger ones than these - note that these are not designed to be weathertight - they are designed for physical (contact) electrical protection of the terminals only - they are not stretchy and are probably larger than you need.

One would think that these were available here in North America somewhere, but one would be wrong!!

Thanks Alan!, You saved me some grief!

I have corrected the link.....

Link doesn't work - the product is called "Bosch Rubber Boot" in that sellers store.
