Help! 1986 Slave Cylinder Boot Question

[chris123]

I am replacing the slave cylinder and hose (the clutch master cylinder has already been replaced) on my 1986 Convertible; question is - is there a boot that goes over the clutch fork push rod? I can crawl under and snap a pic and post it up if you need to see, however those familiar with the slave set up should know what I mean; it looks like there is an open area that could easily collect dirt and debris; if so, does anyone have a part # and a source to purchase from?
Regards, Chris

Here are some pics; the slave cylinder is a brand new AC Delco unit, no rubber boot of any kind was included; should there be a rubber boot covering the rod and/or the opening that it goes into? If so, can someone snap a pic for me; also would need a part number and sourcing location, as the usual places like Eckler's, etc. do not seem to list a part # or even show a pic; my FSM doesn't show any boot in any of the diagrams.

Also for those with a non ZF trans--if you don't have the ruber cover anymore the clutch fork cover and pedal push rod boot for a 79 work. Corvette centrals numbers are 533745 and 532752. Cut the end off the pedal pushrod cover and it fits over the slave end. to make the fork cover work cut the back side of fork cover off just at the bottom where the groves are for it to fit into the bell housing

Maybe it's still a valid option for you to check out...........
