hi all, im trying to make my off-roader into a road legal vehicle again.

the steering rack boots are shredded so they need replacing,

i work for Halfords and none of the suppliers we use could get a kit for it, and i can't find one online anywhere really, ive put a request in with Parts Gateway so waiting to hear back from that but its not looking good at the minute.

any suggestions? what can be used as an alternative from another vehicle?

cheers,

Plank

hi, ive ordered a universal one for £5, but if you can get me a proper kit for a vit, ill certainly use that instead - its a j-reg 1.6 8v carb i think, reg is J355 KKE, comes up as a JLX QP or something like that, tho im pretty sure its had an engine swap at some point last year, ive not had it long. thanks in advance for the help!
