What machines will this boot fit? I don't have any Westinghouse washers and if I want to order one "just in case" I'd like to know what it might fit.
Is this for the Slant Front machines, the Flat Front machines, the Spacemates, etc.? If this supplier does good work, perhaps more parts could be re-made in the future, like Frigidaire bellows, early Maytag HoH dryer door gaskets, etc. Very interesting. PS: If possible, please have the part number(s) as part of the dye so it is evident on the finished product. Dave |

Yes I'm with Dave (Volovoguy87) here, what do or will this fit??
I have a late 40's or early 50's (not exactly sure) Westinghouse slant front washer AND a '57 Spacemate washer. Both need new boots. Unfortunately the NOS boot installed on the Spacemate in April has already failed (come apart at all the seems) completely!
So depending on the final cost and which machine it fits, I would be interested in at least one, maybe two.

Q-4688 boots will only fit Slant-Front/Slant-Tub Laundromats from 1949 on up. They will not fit Slant Front/Straight Tub or Straight Front/Straight Tub machines (1964+). Nor will they fit the Space-mates. Still slant front Westinghouse Laundromats are not too rare so there should be plenty of machines where this boot is needed.
Before 1949 no boots were used as the washers had an outer and inner door. |

A few years ago Mark Harman had some boots made for Kelvinator washers and they turned out great. |

The original boots were a white or off white which would be best but not crucial. I would think silicone rubber would be best to use, but don't know if that is an option.
Yes I've used large clamps to hold them in place myself (at least on the space mate boot) and it was much easier than trying to get that garter ring installed. I used a Make A Clamp kit... CLICK HERE TO GO TO Unimatic1140's LINK |

Will,
The last time the original poster, Dave, made a comment about making these boots was last December. I doubt they're going to be made. |

You know what guys, I tend to agree with Travis. While I certainly hope I'm wrong, I just have a feeling that this might not happen, at least not at this time. But hopefully in time, someone will come up with a way to do this. We are all a very talented, skilled, and most importantly creative group. I have no doubt it can happen and I hope it will. We might just have to hang on for a bit while technology advances in printing rubber products.
Trust me I want some new boots for our Westinghouse as well, I dream of them in light gray silicone! |
