wtd: rubber boot for mk2 escort track rod end
as per title.
don't suppose anyone has a good rubber boot to fit ford escrot mk2 track rod end?
or know if one can be purchased?
ofcourse different manufactureres make them in different sized but the top hole for the tapered part will be the same.
and if anyone asks why I don;t replace the tre - the tre has done about 500 miles, just the rubber has perished so the innards are good.
annoying to have to replace the whole tre but I suspect I will end up doing that.

I suspect O2GF74 means the small rubber boot on the track rod end itself, not the track rod gaiter which is what I think you're referring
to(?)
I don't think you'll find a replacement boot for it myself, but then a new TRE shouldn't cost more than £10.

^^^ yep; just the rubber boot.
I have extensions that need to have track rods of a certain length for correct trackibng and thread engagement - the tre I have a quite short so not a
straight forward swap.
but as ^^^ suggest, 4 Track Rod End Rubber Boots, Austin, Ford, Vauxhall on eBay (end time 27-Nov-10 05:38:18 GMT) , DOH

We've had that problem so bought a pile from a guy onone of the stalls at Stoneleigh about 3 years ago- local factor would only sell complete
joints- I can have alok tonight and see if I can locate them.
