Magnecore wire air seals

Rubber air seals on my set of Magnecore wires are crumbling away.

Is it possible to slip the new seal over the connection at the end, or does the connection unscrew from the wire?

If not, I was thinking about splicing the new seals with a razor blade and then gluing them back together with a rubber adhesive.

Thanks !

If they are that old, I'd opt for new wires, cap and rotor. It's probably time. The time and money goofing with the covers, cutting off, gluing them together etc seems like a bad idea.

Wires and boots are in great shape, the flimsy seals are just falling apart when i recently replaced the plugs, cap and rotor.

Thank you.

Got a pic? I have a set of magnacores but they're 10' up a wall on a shelf and i just had surgery.
I thought they were just streched out T1 bug sparkplug seals?

Not putting miles on your car is like not having sex with your girlfriend, so she'll be more desirable to her next boyfriend.
