General Front stantion gator cover ?

[unclespevie]

Hi, need to find a replacement dust cover/gator for the front suspension stantion, it has a big rubber stopper and a cover, can you still get these or has some used an after market(DIY) alternative, was looking at vacuum flex and tie-strap on but not sure on MOT requirements.

any suggestions or ideas welcome but i cant seem to find any where on the web that sells them.

cheers.

I need these too!

I'd call it a strut dust cover, but Eper calls it a 'wick'

P/N 7720235 - £17 each at the moment. I would try calling a general motor factors. They were easy to get for me 2 years ago. About £13 for a pair I think.

Found the Monroe part at monroeshop.co.uk.

£14.05 and free next day delivery. 4 in stock, so hurry before Vernon buys them all!

If you type the part number into the search, you get a curious selection of vehicles including modern BMWs. Worth noting to check easier to get hold of alternatives that clearly have very similar dimensions perhaps?

fitted the dust covers, look ok in fact but come in 2 pieces, had to tiestrap them together to stop the black ribbed part dropping down....will do for me tho...it covers the inner stansion.

for the price i am happy with purchase.

thanks
