How important is it to have the "Boot" on the Fuel Lift pump-primer button?

I'm buying a new fuel lift pump for my 1994 Ram 2500, & It will be an aftermarket quality one, which is on sale right now. (Delphi mfg, New not rebuilt). I see many are for sale without that rubber cover boot, for the primer button. see photo. My rubber boot is cracker & I'm not in favor of reusing it. I see genos sells just the boot..$10.00 or so & shipping..any comments??? ...ASAP please..thanks.

Nothing scientific, but I bet more don't have one than do.

Mine has been gone for years...........

A little tip. When replacing it throw the mount blots away and put studs in. Your life will be much better.

+1. I bought my lift pump from Geno's and it came with studs. I couldn't imagine changing it with bolts.
