Bellhousing Boot
I'm running a Lakewood #15210 bellhousing and a McLeod hydraulic throw-out bearing. Does anyone have input on a where to find a boot to cover the clutch fork opening that accepts the 2 hydraulic lines?

I have the same bellhousing, I have not found a boot yet for that application.
You might try Darkhorse Performance or Brothers Performance.

Find a rubber supply business in your area that sells sheet rubber about 3/4" thick, make a block and have it cut like the following. Measure the dimensions of the opening where the clutch fork would normally go, add approx 1/2"-3/4" in overall width and length. The after measuring the thickness of the bellhousing have a groove cut around the outside perimeter leaving a flap on eoither side of the opening. then have the rubber shop punch a couple of holes on the block for the hoses to pass through and you are done. Not that difficult. The rubber shop will have the sharp tools to make this very easily.

I installed a HTOB (do I ever like it, too) last month when I put the SPF together, and used a 7/32 vacuum hose to line the edge of the hole. Split the hose lengthwise with a razor blade, & cut it just the right length so that it holds itself tight on the lip. You could use a little glue if you think it might come out, but mine fits tight enough that I don't think it will. An easier solution is to simply tie-wrap hoses around each of the flex lines where they contact the bellhousing. Lots of ways to skin this cat. The HTOB is the way to go. Just make sure the bleeder is on the top (don't ask), and that the clearance is set as per the instructions.
