No deals! Must have cleaned the place up or got robbed, not sure. If you want you can come help with the front end on the 850 and keep all the old stuff?

I think you are too far away. but that's okay for not finding anything. I suppose I can run to my uncle's shop and see if I can find a similar unit.

I'm pretty sure Shogun(figures) came up with a source for new boots a while ago.
Perhaps he'll see the thread.

I think Ryan had a boot issue too, I'll see if I can get hold of him.

what size boot is it from the drag link? tie rod or control arm sized, or is it something altogether different? bmp sells tie rod and control arm sized replacements here:

I think there is a good one left on the one I removed. The one from the centre link to the idler arm? Looks ok but is 20 years old I think... you want? How do I get it off without wrecking it?

20 years old... nah... don't waste your time. On the newer boot, I think there is like a clip that holds the boot on. You probably took off a TRW one... which is bigger ball joint than Meyle.
