Could a person just clamp the top of the seal in place on the rod? Like a typical pinch clamp (the type you cinch down with a plier type tool). Or even a few wraps with lock wire.
I tried a few things. the problem was there isn't much room in the can as it passes back in so it can rub & create more problems. The closest thing I had to almost working was some shrink wrap around the end. except the heat need to shrink the wrap, effectively finished off the boot & thats when I pulled out the originals & was pleasantly surprised at how well they fit & worked. I might have pictures of all of that.
