Emailed them about prices late september and got this reply,

"Pop Ri not currently available in Australia, have got Mega Pop and Car X, suggest you measure shaft size and max joint diameter for suitability".

oh ok..they replied to me with this yesterday

To the best of my abililty I have deduced that the cv boots you require are of shaft size diam 24.5mm and cv joint diam 85mm. The choice is quite wide on your make and model. The Car x cv boot would fit this very well, and up to 88mm max joint size.

Price of each Carx kit is $15.00
Fitting Cone is $12.00
Strap Tool is $15.00

Postage is likely to be $10.00 plus $2.80 insurance.

I hope this helps. Confirmation of shaft and cv joint sizes would be appreciated before ordering.

I bought his mega pop boot and tool. The boot is very large and stepped. You just trim off what you don't want.

I bought the tool too..Makes it a lot easier. The megapop boot didn't last but it was not its fault. The boot looks the goods and I'd be interested to know how they last under normal conditions.

Mine exploded because it was rubbing on the extension of the steering column lift kit and was attacked by the heat from an unshielded turbo. I changed the whole front back to normal brumby setup and included two new complete axles in the exercise.

The megapop boot as you see, secures the small end, then it steps up. find the section that is your size for the big end, secure with strap then trim. Its pretty easy and looks ok.

With regards to the straps, I went into a local CV joint here and bought a big handful of the straps for $20.00.

i do not like them as it looks like the boot is pulled to tight .
and if it is too tight, it will split very fast .
not enough ribs in it to stretch.
