Yup, they do, early and late boot kits, A and F part nos, split at '87 sometime I think.
All discussed in some detail a while ago here, will try to dredge as needs to go in Wiki

Ow! Really!

Now there's a job on a cold wet winters day, cleaning old boots up and spraying with silicone - shiny and new as new shiny thing

'cept the front outers are usually glued on somehow

There's a range of part numbers for the outer boots. I ordered some not long ago and the parts monkey I spoke to spent some time going 'nope, those are obsolete' before finding the one that wasn't.

It may depend upon how hard the monkey in the dealer is prepared to work to find the boots.

Well it was worth a try, but I've just had a call back and unfortunately after calling around their suppliers it would appear that when push came to shove they couldn't come up with the goods

Many thanks to all who expressed an interest.
