Zodiac 601's,



Does anyone have a source for nose gear steering boots?  These are used

to separate the cabin from the engine compartment due to the two large

oval holes in the firewall from nose steering pushrods?



Thanks,



~Nick

Contact Doug Dugger in Northern California.  I believe his wife made 

his.  I think she might sell them.  I don't know his email, but I think 

he's on this list.

Doug's wife also does VERY nice upholstery for 601's.

This has been addressed recently on the list. Mac's web site shows what I 

believe is a much better solution:

I suggest Mac's design is superior to a boot, because the function of the 

firewall is to keep an engine fire out of the cabin. The last thing you 

want is two large holes covered over by a thin rubber boot when you have a 

fire up front. Of course, that doesn't address the problem of containing a 

fire in an epoxy-fiberglass cowling. None-the-less, I think that Mac has 

the right idea.

various solutions: boots and sliding shutters:
