[TR] Tr2 or tr3 steering boot install tips anyone?

Ditto with Dave, a single wire hose clamp is doing a great job 3,500 miles
later, fits well and looks neat.  I too was looking for a more engineered
fit, but never found it on any of the examples that I looked at.

I just used a hose clamp and clamped it to the outer steering shaft pushed
up against the firewall.  We'll see how well that works.
