WTB: Alternator Rubber Boot

[YellowTwinTurbo]

I am looking for the rubber boot piece that covers alternator wire. Thanks

I've seen someone else with this damaged as well. Is it available as a separate part? As I recall, I could not find it in oemacuraparts or amayama parts diagrams for them.

You have to buy the whole wire harnesses to get this boot. I have seen someone used rubber epoxy “sugru” to patch it up, cut and sand it to shape and spray plasti dip black.

Unfortunately, the boot comes with the entire harness. You may want to reach out to some of the NSX-focused wrecking yards like AH Parts. Or, I bet that the boot is common among Hondas of the same generation. How much you want to bet you could find that boot on a Legend or Integra at your local pick and pull?

Edit: you could go aftermarket too: https://www.amazon.com/Dorman-85684...ocphy=9028749&hvtargid=pla-571260946781&psc=1

that amazon link rubber boot doesn’t fit. I purchased one and is way too small. I might try to fix mine with silicon glue and post an update later

You can do a passable job with electrical tape if you plan it out. Go over the top first with 2 layers, perpendicular to the side opening, leaving the tape ends along the bottom. Then go along the bottom to cover all of those ends, leaving the ends on the tube for the side opening. Then wrap the tube for the side opening and cover those ends. Use a good tape like Scotch Super 33+ or even 88.

But definitely better if an Integra or Legend part from a wrecker fit. I do remember looking at Amazon & the like for something that would substitute without success.

The part appears to be a Sumitomo 7210-0197.

Maybe post some debossed numbers on your car?

That diamond cross-hatch debossed logo is Sumitomo.

This site states they have 510 in stock https://teamequip.com/sumitomo-7210-0197-428644/

If that doesn't work I would bark up CycleTerminal for help. I check out the next KA5 Legend that comes my way...

This is the plug you are looking Drew?

 

[drew]

Yes, that is it. Cannot determine who made it. I'm guessing Mitsumi as it used for high amp fan applications.

It was used on early JDM 90s Accords and variants. Only used on the NSX for Honda past mid-90s.

The 2pin was used up to the 2000's as radiator fan motor connectors.

 

[YellowTwinTurbo]

I didn't see any printing or label on the plug.

Did anyone follow up with OCO Connectors? It would be interesting Usually I find such sites to post scraped down data and are awaiting for a payday of an inquiry. However, they might actually have a box of rubber boots laying around.

I repaired the boot but found one from another member parting out his car on facebook
