Does anyone know if and where i can buy a boot kit for the SH drop links? I tried to make some today from an inner tube but not big enough.

Yes that's worth looking into John thanbks. It needs to be fairly supple and flexible of course so as i can slide it over everything and cable tie it tight either end.


I want to fill it with grease probably too.

Big heat shrink? Probably split though.
I do have some 15 mm clear silicone tube which is quite stretchy so would probably slip over rod end easily then the ends would cable tie easily enough. Could cut you a bit orf and post it providing you don't want masses.

Are you sure it won't trap water.

Why do you need to fit them into a tube and cover them up, so you think they will dekay with the elements, i dont think they will give up and the ball joints are well made, ive had them on my car for at least 4 years and still going strong but i do under stand where your are coming from...
