He has it right. Don't try to stretch those gaiters/boots over the things. At the price of the Volvo item, you're in danger of fecking 'em. I used generic motor-cycle stanchion bellows, look a right mess, yet work well enough.

These pics may help, did the same job a month or 2 ago

1387105 Is the part number for bellows £15 each

I boiled mine , greased them and got them on without damaging them.

Great. Thanks. I'll look into that.

Although the nivomat might fail at some point soon... so maybe I just need to get one of the 8626030's and try it out.. before I buy two.....

I have just bought a new pair of 8626030s that are not yet fitted. Please let me know if you need any measurements taken from them that might assist.
