Sujit,
Yes, I have had one supplier=E2=80=99s boots turn to cheese after about =
2 years.
=20
The racks I have had rebuilt at Atlantic where they replaced the boots =
on rebuild have lasted many years, but I do not know where they sourced =
their parts. Best guess since they started out as a Jaguar rack =
rebuilder that they know what fits across different units, BUT, I have =
not corresponded with them in at least 8 years since the original owner =
sold the company to one of the big rebuilders.
=20
Also, it seems to me that the XJS Rack from the period is a very similar =
Adwest unit for parts, the mounting cast aluminum ends are different but =
swappable for the Stag and the early style ball end rods, but =
don=E2=80=99t hold me to that without first finding the assembly part =
numbers from a Jaguar guru like XK=E2=80=99s Unlimited which I think has =
also been sold to Moss?
=20
For $9/$18 for the pair and free shipping, and free returns, try them, =
you can always send them back as crap, nice thing about Amazon Prime.
