Glad you were able to get it to work, Banjo. A lot of times if you ask the guys at aftermarket parts shops online - like Messicks or AmericanCVStore they'll be able to give you a good idea of what would and wouldn't work. :)
glad you were able to find a good boot replacement and to throw another one in the mix - I've seen them mentioned around here before, americancvstore.com also offers a lot of boot kits. Something to check out for a pricing gauge or comparison -...
