I’ve been attacking a variety of little projects to get the jeep complete.  One of those is the transfercase cover.  Mike and I had done a little trade out of which I received a stock CJ-2A rubber boot, but after testing it out, I decided it wouldn’t work.  So, I ordered a beefier and larger Dana 300 boot that did the trick.

In order to mount it, I had to build a metal cover to secure the rubber boot.  I turned to my old dissected hood for some metal.  I then cut a hole the side of the boot, drilled some holes along the side, and mounted it to my fiberglass.

Below is the Dana 300 boot and the metal piece I made:

Below is the hold I needed to fill:

And here it is filled.  Nothing fancy:
