Default Need original Lockheed tie rod boots

Folks, i need some NOS Lockheed rubber "dust cover boots" that keep the grease contained within the tie rods (the Brits call them ball joints, but that is a term Americans reserve for the lower joints of the uprights in rack and pinion cars). I have a worm and sector car using the Bishop gearbox and tie rods at the end of each link. Any help is much appreciated!

Thank you, Bob

Bob,

Morgans used Bishop and Lockheed parts. Just a guess though.
PN 100-602 on this page.
Morgan +4 Steering System Parts | Gemmer, Moto-lita, Bishop, Brooklands

Also it maybe easier to cannibalize a boot from an existing tie-rod end
lockheed in Vehicle Suspension and Steering Parts | eBay

Or go generic will-fit

Great suggestions! Thank you for the time you spent searching on the web! I had not found those Lockheed parts on my E-Bay search, for unexplainable reasons.

I bought a cover from Morgan supplies a while back, but it was no where close to the original. I am trying hard not to bugger up my car with odd parts. These boots have been tough to source.

Most Appreciative!!
Bob
