Hi Gents, has any one fitted a Solid type CV boot on a swing axle driveshaft??
Would like to this for a concourse original car.

Many thanks.

there have been posts on here. The idea is to place the boot into hot water for a while to make it more pliable, and then slip it on.

You just need to big screwdrivers and some grease on the parts. Very easy to make.

I'll volunteer to be the a$$ that points out the swing axle cars didn't have CV joints...
