Slimline CV boots?

[itiejim]

Does anyone know where I can source a pair of slimline CV boots suitable for MGF / Elise CVs?

I've built up a bespoke rear suspension for my Spitfire but the standard boots are too large to give sufficient clearance between the boot and the coil over.

Any ideas greatly appreciated!

I have used these before & aside of being quite hard to get on they can be made as small as you can.

Thanks for that Andy. I'm quite happy to pop the CV off to make fitment easier. How do you mean "they can be made as small as you can"?

Sorry, I meant as small as you want.

Meaning that you basically cut off the sections that are too big/small for the respective ends.

What you say is the best way to fit them, completely remove the CV from the shaft & use the ends closest in size for the ends that you have, they can end up lots smaller than the manufacturers correct ones & are more flexible & so don't crack/split so easily.

Ahh, splendid. Looking at some YouTube videos they seem to be very flexible so I should be able to save the space I need.
