MOT fail - ball joint cover
Evening all. My Locost failed the MOT due to a worn ball joint dust cover?! Does anyone know where I can get a replacement?
Many thanks for any help

Eurocarparts do a mixed sizes box for 5-10 quid that should do the trick.

Ditto - just replace the complete joint! MoT passed and any potential damage or wear removed from the vehicle.

A little tip for fitting replacement ball joint boots that have a spring type clip on the bigger diameter, use 2 small lengths of brake pipe over the
ends of the clip for extra leverage and to cover the sharp ends.
