Lower Ball Joint - Cortina Upright

Hi Does anyone know what this type of ball joint is from. I have them on my kit but need a nut & new rubber boot. I am using Cortina uprights.

Your help is appreciated. I know they are not Cortina Ball joints - I heard they maybe Transit..?!

see lowerBallJoint.jpg in sketch.

Look like the required boots....
They're difficult to get hold off seperately usually as most people just buy new balljoints...

depends very much under what circumstances the old boot came to split. if he's nicked it with a ball joint splitter, there's gonna be nothing wrong with the joint, and you should always renew nylocs.

if it's failed due to old age, fair enough

Cheers guys.

Only need rubber, ball joint is unused so ok inside.

Need, nut too but I think it is a 12mm fine.
