Ball joint rubbers

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

Replacement Rubber Covers

Eddie,

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





Work-in-Progress: Changed to Zetec + T9. Still trying!!

I'm in the same boat, anyone know if it's possible to get some replacement gaitors??

TIA, Ian.

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