Thanks for the reply Tony but it is the offside I am having trouble with.
I sorted the nearside in a similar way to yourself but the offside opening of the boot is smaller than the fitting and there is no room behind it.
The new boots are very different to the old ones so it may be that I need to get another set. Do you remember where you got yours from?
A lot of suppliers (including Fitchetts, who normally don't get things wrong) supply Herald/Spitfire gaiters for use on Dolomites. These are NOT suitable as they are too big in diameter and chafe on the subframe leading to early failure. I've just replaced both gaiters on the Carledo but managed to pick up a boxed pair of QH gaiters at Stoneliegh, the O/S one was still a PITA to fit! I use a bit of an old pair of right angle ended circlip pliers, pushing the gaiter over the rear side and then teasing it over the more accessible front side with the tool.
I would imagine that whoever recons the racks for Alun will have access to a source of these, I don't know offhand of another.
