Richard Ryland Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Are these available through a normal car parts supplier or due to it being a Caterham rack are they only available direct?Need to get and fit before the MOT Friday morning, so hope I can just pick up locally to Windsor.any advice / pearls of wisdom greatly received.Thanks, Richard(2001 K series de Dion) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Ryland Posted June 19, 2017 Author Share Posted June 19, 2017 Good find, thank you. It would have helped my search if I had spelt gaitor correctly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thompster Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 My gaiters are Quinton Hazel QG1001. Same as escort mk1 and mk2 and capri. Pretty much any motor factor will have them. Ball joint boots should be available from any old school motor factors - you'll need an example for sizing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamQ Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 These are what I bought recently:http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FIRSTLINE-FSG3033-STEERING-GAITER-KIT-for-Ford-Talbot-Vauxhall/302295974276?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EEK Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Did mine recently - day before the MOT, used some "universal" ones from the local motor factor and these were fine, probably identical to the ones that came off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
