It's still something I want to work on just it's an expensive endeavor the material is going to be pretty robust and expensive. So as it sits I'm trying to gather the funds then see if its something that's even feasible to do.

^seconded^ Somehow one of my boots tore on me this week... Fack!

[madman23]

Any headway on this?

Ok cool, then I might be interested in inner boots :)

[nando]

I've had them side by side, can't tell any difference

[Nisse Järnet]

E30 and E34 (and E46 on the outer) have different part number on the inner but they might fit anyway :) I dont have any E30 boots i could try on the E34 parts..

But if anyone can measure inner diameter of the E30 boots i can check the E34 ones.

[nando]

pretty sure inner E34 are identical to the inner E30. outter E34 are the same as the outter E46.

I'm somewhat interested. I don't think there's anything wrong with the material (it's meant to hold the grease inside it, der). I think most of the damage is from exhaust heat and lowered cars.

the only outter boot I've had fail in 12 years is from tracking the car and getting the hubs up to like 900 degrees. the boot didn't really even fail but it melted a bit and a little bit of grease came out around the clamps.

if you are stock and failing boots ever 2-3 years I don't know. Seems wrong. even with extreme lowering I get about the same amount out of mine.

What would be worth it to me would be to not have to replace them as often. I basically keep them in stock since I know they will only last so long. but mostly it's because they rub together and the exhaust heats them up..

[Nisse Järnet]

I don't know the difference between the two. But if it means making another mold then that's a whole new ball game.

The inners might fit, i think it was 2mm bigger diameter on the E34.
The outers i think not :P its like 8mm bigger..

I'm lucky to get 20k out of my boots, I had to raise the car another 1" to help some.

I would have bought if they'd fit E34 axles :P
