[Tigers] Steering rack

Thanks for the info.  Today I ordered boots that come with narrow screw adjusted clamps, similar to radiator clamps. Hopefully they won't cut into the boot.   Mark

The other is 5/16” wide, which seems to be their most narrow. I know I’ve seen more narrow somewhere. https://www.mcmaster.com/hose-clamps/constant-tension-spring-clamps-for-firm-hose-and-tube/ https://www.mcmaster.com/hose-clamps/clamp-type~worm-drive/band-width~5-16/

Wanting something better than plastic zip ties to secure the boots I ventures to the world of hose clamps. You are correct most are too wide. I scoured through Pick Your Part and found certain BMW clamps (left in image) from the 80's/90's to not only be narrow enough, but also have a slight bevel on the edge. That said it was still a search to find the clamp in an appropriate diameter. I used these on my Tiger rack. I'd assume the midget rack boots are similar. Sorry I can't tell you the year/model and location the clamps were used but hopefully it helps with your search. Photo for comparison.

I have the MG Midget steering rack conversion.?? I need rubber boots.?? Does it take the same as a standard Tiger??? Also, what are good clamps that will work to secure??? Radiator clamps seem a little too wide and tend to cut into the boot.?? ??Thanks, Mark L
