Landing gear Boots?

[triple8s]

I read somewhere on here someone was mentioning a "strange" material in the maingear wheel well, a strange material around the gear actuator rod. My question, is there a place to buy a replacement boot or the material to cover the opening around this, hopefully with out having to disconect the rod for installation. I've also noticed it looks like the same material against the inside of the firewall behind the rudder pedals.  Another question I had, is there a wheel well liner for the nose gear? I've noticed the tape has peeled back on a hole or two in the nose gear wheel well area, is this common? I'd hate to have mice get in, a friend had a Maule that a family of mice moved into and they caused him to have to re-wire, and I even saw a spar corroded on a 201 where a rats nest was built next to the main spar and the rat urine and debris cause the spar to corrode.

I installed my new LASAR boots a couple of weeks ago using some weatherstrip adhesive at the base per their instructions, and also with some heavy duty duct tape.   I suspect it will do the job for many years to come!
