Anyone replace the rubber bellows on a Joseph Pietz (1976 "Komet")
trailer tongue?
Can you direct me to a possible supplier in the US?
Or what you substituted

Thanks
Jim

They are checking in Germany to see if it is available.
Thought I might find something closer to home.

If all else fails, consider a rubber motorcycle shock cover. Usually
available in various lengths and colors.

The diameters of the motorcycle 'gators' will probably be a bit
small. If you have any serious 4WD offroad accessory shops in your
area you might give them a look. Some of the covers for truck struts
may be a good match.

Go to

http://www.mcmaster.com/

and type bellows boots in the search box - - all the sizes you might could
imagine. You'll be running around the house looking for things you might
improve with a big rubber bellows.

The old standby, McMaster-Carr has quite a variety of lengths and
diameters.
