Send it to China before Jan 20 and have them quickly reverse engineer it. I'm sure they can spit them out for a few cents a piece if you order enough.

I've been using the MS25171 series of aircraft connector boots. They come in black, white, red, orange and I think gray. The black ones work/look great. ( IIRC I used the -1's) Non stock, but dang close. Plus dirt cheap. Here's some at Aircraft Spruce:

This brings back memories (not good ones) of a really crummy solution I came up with using parts on hand (fuel hose, stopper, and epoxy) for my '90 S4 about 6 years ago...

Checked the boot today while delivering some bundled wire to Rog, looks nice. I'll see about putting them on future products.

At $7-ish I'd take a dozen.

I bought a LOT so the price is $12 each. I will email those who expressed an interest in this thread.
I will also start a new thread.

Thanks for the follow-up action on this.

Hats off to our dedicated vendors who make all this stuff work for us! I'm still good for a couple of those, and the terminals inside, at your convenience. I won't be able to use it for a few weeks at the earliest-earliest, so no hurry. Cheapest slowest envelope, any time before the end of April should do it for me.

Excellent!

Now I need to figure out what else to get to make the order worth the effort.
