I'm getting Pete's slave cylinder kit for my 302/T5 swap. As I understand it, the kit by itself would leave the bellhousing open where the fork comes out. I'm curious what folks are using as a dust cover/boot?

Not really needed. Have had my shift fork opening open for 16 years with no issues.

I used a tr6 slave mounted to the bell housing.

Mine has been open like Graham's for about 10 years. No issues.
