Give me a few minutes... I can't tell you about the hub and shaft, but I can tell you about the boot itself.

V ol vo 3270530 Made by Löbro 2 153 10 75 00 027 The Löbro kit is 300448 - L:77/Ø1=20/Ø2=52 The Spidan kit is - 26048 - L:77/Ø1=20/Ø2=52 Same as DAF 66, V olvo 66 and V olvo 340. Nearest thing to it size-wise in those 3 dimension is some Alfa stuff. Ebay fodder gives 75/23/52 which is a bit saggy-arsed on the inner. From experience it will pop the inner unless you have something handy to get the band ultra tight. Here's a picture I prepared 3 years earlier... CV Boot Kit OEM by macplaxton, on Flickr (ooh look, a proper kit, not a cheap-arsed one. It even has snap rings) buy cheap - buy twice.

Got a sneaky feeling that Porsche 911 is pretty close (something like 80 x 54) which should be close enough with good tie-wraps rather than those horrible metal clips.

Metal clips ain't 'orrible. They're really rather nice. ;D

They are only nice if you have the right tool with which to fasten them. Otherwise they are a son of Satan shoulder job and best replaced with a cable tie.

gave him some Ovlov 340 regs courtesy of google I'd tell the factors to feck off and stop being a lazy arse and just look it up the old way. I'll tell 'em if the bits are right or not. Sorry 'bout the rant ;D

Forgot to add, when you get your mitts on those boots, let us all know the actual dimensions of the ones you get and the manufacturer/supplier/part number.
