Default Rose joint jonnies ;-)

Just tried the Zoo but they are all out feeding the animals......

ba-dum-tishhhhhhh

Anyway, I'm after plastic covers for the rose-joints on the beam. As it is a road car 95% of the time the water and crap get into them and every few weeks they start to squeak. A squirt of WD40 sorts it out but I'd like to protect them better. My front tca's have covers so I was hoping to get something similar. Anyone know of any????

thanks

Your better off spraying the joints with something like Castrol PTFE white grease, doesn't come off very easily and will keep the crap out. I used a similar product on mine

They often hold the crap in too - so sometimes its not advisable to fit them

A good outboard motor grease should be sufficient
