Sounds like the right track Thomaslea. Prevention of dirt ingress is the objective, so any solution that seals and holds the ends firm will suffice. The spacers are simply nylon clamp fittings with tightening screws/bolts to make them hold fast around the rack ends. I used zip ties on the outside of the gaiter once fitted, but stainless might look better if youre that way inclined. I have jenuwine JK gaiter in waiting/archives; I had purchased before discovering alternatives as the vehicle inspection was due!
I suspect the spaces in the email address are erroneous- possibly my poor transcription.
