possible to fix cruise control actuator (bellows) 200

I have a small tear in my cruise control actuator, was going to try a a small section of bicycle tube patch kit on it. Any other thoughts?? They seem to go for about $70-80 new, Not sure its worth that much to me.

Thanks,
Matt

    When the rubber bellows crack it is because they dried out. Sure, you can patch the hole but the bellows will just split again in another spot. Consider a bone yard replacement or buy a new one. In short, if you patch it, don't expect much life (time wise) out of it.
