Replacement Front Ball joint boot

I seem to have lost one of the rubber boots that go over the ball joints. That or I never got one. I can get a set of poly ones from VBandP for $10 US, but the shipping is $35 so that pretty much kills it.
VBandP
Anyone have any ideas where I could get a replacement boot from? The ones repco sell aren't the right size.
Or is anyone thinking of making a purchase from VBand P in the near future that I could piggyback on?

I'll be buying front and rear springs from them next year but I'm guessing you want it quicker than that!

Actually, that's an idea. I was going to buy a set if kings springs for the front of the car, but I might get a set from VBandP instead. It'll probably work out cheaper or similar, and I can get the ball joint covers.

How could it cost $35??? I bought a minor tie rod/ball joint/idler arm kit from Ecklers landed for about AU$150 all up.
Boots are only $8.99 from Ecklers and shouldn't cost more than $10-15 bucks or so postage. You guys get a 20% discount don't you?

I think $35 was the generic overseas shipping cost for VBandP.
After another quick browse of their site, I have decided I need front springs and a new swaybar as well...
I may as well do this properly the first time. Lucky tomorrow is payday.

Glad I could inspire you!
I agree do it right the first time. When I rebuilt the front/rear I put in the new shocks but I didn't have the new springs so I reinstalled the old ones. It anoys me every time I think about it.
