Trivia

The original rectangular rubber boot that covers the lever opening on the machine was made for a Jeep CJ5 / CJ7. This was, and is one of the only wide rectangular boots available, and it worked perfectly for the manufacturers. The boot is still readily available today from any aftermarket Jeep supplier and is still a perfect fit in every way.
