CV boot part number?

I have a 8.8 IRS from the mustang cobra. I think it is similar to what some others are using. I can't seem to find a replacement CV boot. The inner joint is about 4 inches OD and that is larger than the replacement parts at most of the stores. Does anyone have a source?

This is the Ford part number that I bought to replace mine.

Dean,

I found my CV boot parts at the following website.

Hope that helps.

If the other posts don't pan out, call The Drive Shaft Shop in NC and ask Frank for the correct boots. He just did my axles last week.

John, is this what yours looked like? I'm not sure if it is a mustang or Thunderbird.

i thought i replied to this but must have hit the delete button. i bought my blue silicon boots from richard oben in kc, some are two piece like you have some have the scallops molded into the boot. i use the tie wraps & aerosol can tube extension as a breather, no problems. if you haven't tried the whitby bearings for the uprights those are pretty slick also.
