Default rubber boot on starter?
Would anyone have a part no. for the rubber boot on the lower electrical connector (battery cable) on the starter. My dealer can't seem to find it. Is it possibly the same as the upper one? Thanks, Roy

Not sure of it is what you're talking about or not, but my parts manual shows "BOOT, insulating" on the starter. Part #31662-90.

My 1987-90 book shows a 'Boot 70578-90', which may be an alternative. There is also a 'Cap starter terminal 31555-90', although I can't make out what that does.

Thanks for the replies guys, I'll run those numbers by my dealer tomorrow. I thinking I can find a generic boot to work for this. I know I've seen them on all kinds of starters and generators. This only seems accessible with the starter removed so I really want one before I put the starter back in.
