On the RV7, the battery positive cable to master contactor has a 90* bend in the terminal lug to make it fit the contactor post. Standard terminal boots are designed for a straight terminal i.e. they are an "L" shape, and what you really need is an "S" shape.
Maybe I've just never run across it, but in all my various searches for stuff on VAF or google, the only two solutions I recall seeing were to skip it entirely, or just shove it on there and hope for the best.
Anyway, don't know if this will help anybody out or not, but if you use two boots and cut them up, there's a really simple solution. It's hard to see in the picture, but the upper boot 1/2 is held in place by a wire tie.
