I started my build so long ago that the rubber gaiters on the Maxi ball joints and Escort track rod ends have cracked with age, despite the car never having turned a wheel in anger! The joint themselves are obviously still new - are separate replacement gaiters still available, or have I got to chuck them away and buy new ones?

Cheers,

Eddy

Eddie,

There will be some available at the Stoneleigh/Donnington shows. Which is nearest to you?

You can buy track rod end poly boots rather than rubber ones. Think I saw them in the Rally Design catalogue.

Thanks Pat.

My local motor factor stocks some ball joint covers, i dont know if they may have some that are universal fitment.

Got some from here at Detling earlier this year, many different sizes.
