Question Rubber caps rear brake cyl Dodge D-15?

Good evening,

My D15 has THIS rear brake cyl. I need NEW/ NOS protective rubber caps/„boots“.
SEE dimensions attached. Green in mm, extra pic in inches.

Anybody an idea where I can get them?
Maybe any other vehicle has this type?
Preferably from a vendor Europe to save shipping cost and time and customs.

Thanks & cheers Erwin

Default Boots

Hi Erwin

This vendor in Australia has a boot that fits the 1.5" Dodge truck brake cylinders. Don't think you will find those boots in Europe.

Erwin,

part "571428" also shows up as a Dodge WC part on the site of D. van Dam here in Holland

Thank you Alex.am not sure if they are not too small: at least Jeep-Dodge-GMC has measurements depicted in yr link and the inner diameter says 36 instead of the required 45…
My rear cyl are bigger than those of the WC…Mike‘s 44mm offered in Australia would fit perfectly…and meanwhile a close friend in the US found me some today…thank you for supporting my efforts!!

Erwin,

So could it be that the rubbers on your wheel cilinders have been swapped for WC ones somewhere in the past....and over-stretched to make them fit?

Glad you found some in the meantime!
