CV Boot Bands?
RazMan - 30/10/06 at 07:31 PM

I'm looking for some CV boot bands - not the cheap cable tie type but the pukka stainless locking variety that needs a tool to apply them properly.
Any idea who stocks them? My local motor factors only have the cheap type.

ive used www.bailcast.com before for my tin tops , do a good range last one i used was the (stickyboot)Split Drive Shaft Boot . as didnt have time to dismantle it .
worked really well .mind you wouldnt use one on the velocity.

wotcha raz, i have a kit so i can make stainless ones any size u like if you wanna rob a few meters and a couple of clips

Thanks guys

rjs - I had a look at their site but they only list the complete kits and not just the bands. Having seen what happened to by last CV boot at 151 mph (on the rollers)I wouldn't trust a split boot - it only takes 30 mins to whip the driveshafts off and do it properly anyway

ch1ll1 - if you have 4 of each size (large & small) that would be great but I was going to offer beer tokens so only if its no trouble.

Ketchup - I think you need a special tool for those kits don't you? tbh that's probably why one of mine fell off - I just couldn't get it tight enough with a pair of pliers (plus I'm a wuss when I'm laying on my back in the rain )
I need to speak to you soon about servicing my tintop if tha't possible? little 'inspection' light is nagging me

Thanks for the help Paul - the bands are just the job. I am suprised how difficult it is to find bands on there own. They seem to only come as part of a CV boot kit and when you mess up a few (as I did) you are stuffed!

I can now make sure all the grease stays on the inside of my boots now

Thanks again
