Are xr4x4 CV boots not similar? Just thought you might be able to find them easier if they fit.

if you want one i should be able to confirm at some point this afternoon as to where my mate got his from earlier this week

the inner ones are longer than the outers (as the pics show) and i've got at least 2 here on shafts that are sitting in the garage
2 i've got rid of a few weeks ago too

shouldn't be more than a fwe quid and i know i'm going to need some so when/if i can get some i'll drop you a pm as to wehre you want them sent
