MoT next week and I've noticed that a mouse has nibbled a hole in the rear anti roll bar gaiter. It looks like the gaiter has a skirt onto the body of the joint which my standard replacement ball joint gaiter doesn't have. Anyone have or know of a suitable replacement?

FredJohn,
I meant the rubber gaiter for this:
https://www.sjsportscars.com/parts-and- ... D6024F.htmie I need the bit that costs £4 not £40.
Edit - the first time I clicked on your link I got a list of part numbers with no description that said R/B or NLA - thought you were pulling my leg!

Corrected link.
Looking at original parts catalogue, the rubber bush does not appear to be available separately.
Hence your question I guess!!

Thanks for the replies. I had a normal one of the correct dimensions (like the one in Tigerdog's link) and I have put that on as a temporary measure. It needs to have the wider part of the bellows higher up hence the "skirt" on the original.
I'm looking for a more suitable replacement and will post when I find one.
