Is this it? Years ago, I also bought one of those - I could not figure out where to install it. I do not think there was a pre-55-2nd 216/235/261 clutch-fork boot?

I bought it for the same reason as you - it looked useful.

I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one with frustrations on these AD trucks. Installing parts in the lake and in the trash sometimes is the best place! "Pay attention to the details!
