Mazda RX-7 1993 - 2002
Description:

Looking for a good condition dust shield. Pulled the booster to repaint it and discovered the small brake fluid leak had destroyed the top of the rubber. It should still be fine as is but figure if I can replace it while the brake system is out, then I should go ahead and do it.

Unfortunately the column dust cover is yet another NLA part from Mazda.
I will have one in Phase 2 of the current part-out but I only offer as part of a complete column.
Also, they are very very difficult to remove from the column and I have never tried to remove one when column is still on the car.
Your best bet "might: be to repair it on-car.

Tough question
I would thoroughly clean with solvent
Bond cracks with strong rubber based adhesive and then apply sticky tape over repaired sections.
