026 intake boot.

Need to replace the intake boot on my 026 as it has a crack in it. Have not checked with Stihl, but all I can find on internet is aftermarket. What are people's thoughts on these. Belong to Amazon and they have several options where you get the boot plus hoses and I like that idea, but have heard bad things about aftermarket hoses/lines. It would be nice to replace everything while it is apart as I've heard they can be a pain to replace.
Just thought I would get so opinions on this before sending away for one.
Thanks in advance.

 

I’d get it from your dealer. Some of the AM stuff is more like plastic than rubber and doesn’t last long

 

Thanks, wasn't sure if they were NLA. It's either get this stupid saw going or look for something else.

 

I'd steer clear of the shy-knee parts. The quality just isn't there.

 

There were 2 different fuel lines for the 026. The earlier smaller one is NLA, but the newer larger one can be made to work. You have to drill out the tank for the larger grommet to work.

 

I would go with oem, especially with rubber parts.

 

We got an after market fuel line once for my 260, it was junk, didn’t work and didn’t fit. Ended up Getting an OEM Zone from a dealer

 

Thanks all, just need to find the time to drop by a dealer and order or pick up if they stock it. Planning on impulse and fuel lines as well. Can anyone recommend anything else while it's open?
