So I was thinking, if you made a form out of wood (or metal if you are capable) and got some thin butyl rubber sheets and some Rubber cement, you could lay up a functional boot.

Yes, and it’s possible to legalize an owner produced part.

I just saw a number of what look like serviceable servos on eBay.  There is also a nice AccuFlite and I picked up some spare alt hold parts.  Not aware of anybody who formally repairs them at this point.  The ones on eBay come with the cans, so it would be simple R and R.  Best to leave the diaphragms in place.  We are still hopeful Brittain can make at least a partial comeback, but things have gone quiet lately.

A number of years ago, I toured a manufacturer of among other things, medical grade latex gloves.  A hundred or so nice smooth stainless steel hand male molds suspended from a moving chain that would dip into the liquid latex.  Don't remember if it was one dip or multiple.  Seems like the molds that day said Size 6.  The process seemed to be pretty straightforward.  Like making candles back in the olden days...when I was a young lad.

If you are still looking ...  I have some that I have removed from a '67C Mooney if still interested

I am looking for one aileron servo and one large rudder servo that are serviceable or repairable.

I'm looking for a pair of spare elevator servos or boots if anyone has any on a shelf.

I have seen silicone swim caps used to repair these servos...not as pretty but worked.
