Repco and Autopro will not cater for imports... they have more parts catered for mainstream cares like your everyday Commodores / Falcons / Camrys / Magnas...
my mechanic is about to do re oil my cv joints, and replace the boots (one has a tear) so ill get back to you with a part number that fits, he works at mitsubishi and always gets me parts for my fto
Ring just jap back and tell em that and that you only gonna pay 50 for a second hand one, otherwise tell em to get stuffed. Dont hesitate to mention that you know a lot of FTO owners also, they dont want bad publicity.
also does mitsi sell the boot also????
Umm, parts. Most 'common items' such as boots can be sourced from all sorts of locally distributed bits-a-missings. Example i needed a steering rack boot - no bugger could help me. So i decided t orip it off drive to nearest crash repairers and said got one of these. They said yup and replaced it. It was from a late model magna. a lot of pieces like that arent one off's. Alsthough we own imports, these cars are like any other car - parts arent specifically made for them. a lot come from magna's and galants. Show someone the part - you have better chance by doing that than saying i have an fto - got "x" part. They hear "FTO" and immediately beleive they have nothing.
