Default "rubber bellows" for LS6 landing gear

We own an LS6a. During annual inspection our A&P noticed that one of the rubber bellows on a sliding link in the landing gear assy has split and needs to be replaced. Anyone know of a replacement part?

Hi Richard,

I haven't owned an LS-6 in 20 years or so, but I'll bet you could find
what you need at a motorcycle shop, either in person or on line.

I just did a search for "motorcycle rubber bellows" and found a boat
load of possibilities.

Rich,

For my LS6-b, I bought rubber bellows from a motorcycle shop. The original boots had a different diameter opening at the two ends. My replacements have the same size openings; to accommodate, I made spacers using rubber stoppers.

PS: Dan M. gifted me his LS6 tail dolly, years ago--just fun information.
