drive shaft rubber boots

Scary is all I can say. I am totally against MoT exemption for any vehicle of any age. As more and more people who understand older vehicles are lost there is a greater need for someone to look over it once a year to make sure there is at least some chance of the wheels staying on! More and more older "classic" cars are being bought by largely clueless people who treat them like a modern, i.e. drive for three years, no servicing or checking until its first mot unless a dash light comes on! Ask any MoT tester how many people think that the annual mot is also a service.

I was a nominated tester Class 4 & 5 up until 1981 so have seen many a good example you mention. All I'll add is it in place at the moment for all sorts of things such as Heavy Plant, HGV's in certain circumstances (recovery trucks for instance) and Pre 1960 cars. None of it causes any real issues at the moment.

So we'll agree to disagree

In my pictures somewhere, you might find the pic I posted of what I fitted as the originals fell apart after 5 minutes. Norton Commando front fork gaiters, these are neoprene, a perfect fit, even the longer length looks good as it covers the shafts into the swinging arm holes.
