Elevator pushrod boot - RV8

[Webb]

Has anyone made an elevator pushrod boot for a RV8?

Lots of info about aileron pushrod boots but I can’t find anything about elevator pushrod boots. It’s easy access in front of the battery.

It seems like it would stop a lot of cold tailcone air from coming up through the floor. And there are lots of complaints about the backseat being cold.

I’m going to make ones for the ailerons. Why not the elevator while I’m at it?

Pictures please if you’ve done it.

Not sure a lot of air will come through there

I thought the cold air is leaking through the gaps of the fiberglass canopy skirt if it isn't fitted correctly.

There is a trick to keep the skirt flushed with the contour of the rear fuselage.
