recommended boots n gaiters

Post by james butler »

anyone recommend a supplier for boots and gators?
im just going through the process of refurbishing my driveshafts so want to replace the boots inner and outer.
ive just bought a refurb kit for both inners as one is bigger than the other but are there any decent manufacturers for the outer cv joint boots?
i dont really want to have to take all this apart again for a good while so i dont mine spending the cash.

cheers

I don't know if GKN do boots on their own but their joint kits which include new boots last well.

gsf have got loads of offers on at the moment, last weekend was 42% off everything. I'd sign up to their news letter and wait till the next deal, the ones I got from them seem good, think they were febi.
