Part number for harness boot

I cannot locate 2 parts numbers:
- rubber boot for one of the transmission sensors (switch?) - see photo below, I borrowed it from one of Gerry's threads, I hope he doesn't mind...
- motor mount cooling duct, passenger side, the long plastic "pipe" that attaches to the cowl and flows air directly to the mount.
I'll appreciate your help!

The rubber boot for the connector at the switch circled in green is not sold separately... it's part of the wiring harness, which IIRC may be NLA. Search the forum, samiam44 found an aftermarket boot that isn't an exact fit, but works well enough to keep liquids out of the connection, with a little creative fiddling.

Engine mount cooling ducts are in EPC Group 52, subgroup 090. Passenger side long tube should be 124-520-02-05 and it might still be available:

I didn't think to look in sheet metal part of EPC... Many thanks for this - I would search for it forever. Rubber boot - it looks very similar to '80 Porsche fuel pump electrical connector boot but unfortunately it's bigger. I'll look for samiam's post.
 
I've located locally in PL boot MS25171-2S - it'd dirt cheap luckily :p The only downside is that it's white silicone, not black... Oh well, I guess it's better to have white boot rather than bare wires
 
Dave,

Could you elaborate on the cooling duct? Do you have a pic of the right side cooling duct? I don’t think I have one. Driver’s side yes but not passenger side.
Terry, both sides should have a duct leading to the engine mount. I don't have good photos, but IslandMon has some, see post 5 and 6 here:

Warning: The tubes are not fun to remove or install, lots of stuff is in the way.
