Fellow Commander Drivers:
The last couple of flights, the pressurization in N680RR my 680F(p) has really been weak. The problem is the boots around the rudder pedals are cracked and leaking air big time. I had always assumed that they were made of a nice, thin, and flexible leather, however, when removed they appear to be cloth that has been coated (almost like an old oil cloth table cloth). Has anyone made or had made replacement rudder pedal boots, and if so, what did you use?
Comments will be greatly appreciated.

I have not had any experience with this, but your description reminds me of the shift boot I had in my 1986 Audi with manual transmission.
I had always thought it was leather until I replaced it to find it was a plasticized or rubberized material over a cloth-like base.
Just an idea for an “adaptation.”

At the Twin Commander University last March, TCAC passed around a few different prototypes for replacement boots they$B!G(Bve designed, built, and tested (the example they showed was for the control column, but the construction methods would be essentially the same for all six boots). The idea is to redesign the boots to make them significantly more durable and easier to replace. From what I saw, they looked very promising, especially compared to the original equipment. No time frame or cost estimates, though.
I think that I$B!G(Bll be needing to replace mine soon enough, so I have a particular interest in this topic, too!
