Replacement CV Boots?

Does anybody know where I could get replacement cv boots for my driveshafts?
The flange is the 100mm type(for interest sake do you know what this would likely make my diff from) Rescued attachment 2010-03-23 22.08.50.jpg

EBAY

we have used a universal on which doesnt require a stripdown of the shaft. Its stretches over a cone

100mm flange suggests the diff is from a sierra or possibly a scorpio - a 7-inch ford diff.

Unipart will sell boots. and CVs if you need them (which incidentally wil come with boots in the kit).

If it helps to guess the diff ratio, it has 253mm solid rear discs from a sierra & sierra hubs so I im pretty sure the donor car was a Sierra

Most likely 3.62 or 3.92 open diff.

Mark the input flange at the top.

Turn the ouput flanges one complete turn clockwise.

Watch the input flange go round (anticlockwise) 3 and bit times... if it stops at about 25 to the hour its a 3.62, if it goes to 5 to the hour its a 3.92.

That clear?

Stuart Taylor (now Aries) did shortened shafts for his car.

I'm no idea what the most HP they had running through them (if they are those shafts) but i'd ask a few questions to make sure its ok with 300hp.

New shafts made to length are available from a few places.
