I'm working on fitting up half shafts on my RF-40. I purchased a set of 4 GKN 930 CV joints from a source on ebay and they seem to be just fine. I then ordered a set of boot flanges from another source that were listed as 930 CV flanges and they fit the CV joints perfectly. The boot seating area on these flanges is 2.970" inches in diameter. I ordered a set of boots from another source that were listed as fitting all 930 Turbo CV joints (part number 90133229312). However, the seating area diameter of these boots is about 2.190" in diameter. I don't think they are meant to stretch that much, but don't know... The seller of the boots says that I must not have 930 CV joints, however, I am pretty certain that they are (108mm OD, 94mm bolt circle, 40mm wide).
In looking for boots online it appears that you can get boots that go over the entire joint (not what I want), or boots that go on the flange. Are there multiple different flange seating diameters available? If so, does anyone know of a source for good quality boots that will fit the above flanges? I see many straight accordian pleat type of boots, but want the smaller tapered pleat type of boots.
Thanks in advance for any pointers. Bill
