    Question about the alternator

    The alternator i have has 10mm nut and a 13mm nut that tie the cables to it. There are two rubber boots one to cover each of those connections.

    Problem. Larger cover (rubber cover) is torn and i need to replace it. I went to realoem and they list a cover, and so i order it thinking this will fix my problem. Turns out it's the small cover designed for the 10mm nut (part number 61131363318).

    does anyone know the part number of the larger boot, or have a good one that they can sell me? i don't feel that comfortable with that connection exposed to the elements, especially since is for the daily.

    any help would be appreciated.

    I wouldn't worry about replacing it. It doesn't protect anything from the elements, it just protects the terminal from accidental grounding from wrenches, etc.
