Tie Rod gaiter oversleaves

Can anyone help sourcing the tie-rod gaiter grommets?
The new tie-rods you get have these fitted. Are they are a separate part number?

These apparently go over the tie rod and the gaiter fits over these with the relevant clips.

My new gaiters have too wide an opening so leaving room for ingress of dirt and water.
  
Thanks

Personally I don't ever recall seeing anything under my 89,90,92, or 93 Cabriolets.  The boot was clipped to the rack and the rod on the tie-rod end.

What do Divorces, Great Coffee, and Car Electrics all have in common?

They all start with GOOD Grounds.

Where are my DIY Links?

This is the sleeve I mean - just wondered if they are available separately ? AB585B72-366C-436A-8E4B-ECB1EE6C8044.png

I have only seen them on the inner rod assembly.

Ok cheers

I'll try VW heritage and see if they stock 'em or available as a separate part no. 👍

I had a similar problem with new track rods I brought so I slid the rubber bush off the new track rod and pushed on my old ones from the original track rods and the rubber boots now fit fine.  :thumbs:

these are on manual rods only, have a look at mk2 golf manual rods as well pretty sure they use the same ones
