I'm looking for a set of Parking Cable boots, part number 01Y-2597-A
They are the little rubber boot that cover the ends of the parking brake cable under the box.


They aren't being reproduced as far as I can tell.
If anyone has seen any for sale recently, can you send me a link?



(see part 2597, attached picture)


Thanx,


Kirk

A guy in florida was planning on reproducing them but not sure if he did. He does make the rubber boots for the magic air heaters on 51-52 trucks. You might look on the ford-trucks.com site for him. His handle is firstrider over there.

I found some NOS ones for my truck and within a couple years they had turned to dust due to crappy rubber.
 
Bump to the top.
In case anyone has a set of these available.

The guys over on FTE had a good idea, making those with a 3D printer. I need to bug my wife for a drawing and try to print one.

I hate to suggest it, but there are any number of Taiwanese shops that could kick them out of molded rubber in a matter of weeks, usually with excellent quality. Just need the dimensions. They specialize in low-volume production.
 
I agree with you guys, it would seem entirely possible to either 3d print, or get a shop to specialty make a batch of these. However I don't have an original to work from.

I was thinking that if anyone had one, I would 3d scan it, and try and make up a drawing for the future generations of OCD Ford guys who are trying to keep things sort of original.

There is a project running on FTE to reproduce them, but its been slow going.

There is a place close to here, a tech shop, I am going to run one by there and see if they can make them. My wife thinks they can, will report back in a week or so.

That sounds great JB.

I only have a small remnant on one of my original ebrake cables. Not enough to get any measurements from.

Conventional method of of pouring them like the heater boots did not work out . Contacted a young energetic friend that 3D printed a prototype . We are making a fine adjustment to it & will re 3D print it & check for fitment . Stay
tuned will have them soon ..
