Here's an original boot:
And here's what I think is a mid-80's club replacement:
These are almost identical in appearance and dimensions. The bellows are roughly 3.5" ( about 90mm). Perhaps the current one is the same, but it appears smaller in OD in the photos. Most of the stuff I have seen here is too tight and the inner joint tends to tear the bellows and pull the cover off the rock mount.
I recently gave away a set of unknown origin, although I suspect they were club ones from perhaps 10 years ago. The bellows were very narrow and overall length was also shorter and I figured I would look for better options.
For me, one of the issues is that we (or at least some of us) should be preserving the cars as they were, not just installing "make it work" parts. Cue Monty Python.

Re: Jupiter Rack and Pinion Bellows
Thanks Scott.....So these are the same dimension bellows I am in need of...with the +/- 3.5in diameter body. The dimension seems standard after all...? If the club was selling these sometime back.....question for you guys in the UK....are these the same dimension bellows you are selling now? Do you have any on the shelf? If so, can I buy a pair...without being a member?....or am I the underage kid in the shadows by the corner mart...trying to buy beer....
