Newark Auto jumble, usually people there with various sizes of boots to fit all joints. (in the big shed)

Next one is Easter Sunday, April 8th
Don't use stainless on suspension, not strong enough.

Don,t use stainless bolts any where on the suspension, they can work harden and fracture. If you are worried about them seizing use copper grease and if you want them to look pretty get the originals re-plated.

I bought some poly boots from rally design,then went to newark auto jumble(i only live 9 miles away) 4 days later and found some rubber ones in the big shed £1 each Doh! thanks anyway mate.
And ive ordered some socket head bolts(12.9) plated at a fraction of the price of stainless cheers.
