Default Damper dust covers/boots...where from?

I need 4 new damper covers/dust covers for a set of Ohlins coilovers, anyone know where's the best place or anyone that supply's them, they don't have to be Ohlins ones as a generic set will do as long as they fit within the spring which has a 64mm ID, so I'd need around 55-60mm diameter and approx 140mm in length?

Meisters response to Spring seats were..."they are 100% different, you need to contact Ohlins" ...when I asked how they were different if it was pitch or strut diameter I got told "Probally both...we use a different pitch for sure just by looking at pictures" but didnt actually tell me the spring ID or pitch they use, ive sorted those out now but as an after thought might as well get new damper covers too,

Emailed Ohlins EU and awaiting a reply as they are based in Germany

If anyone needs a UK contact for Ohlins parts use Mick Gardner Racing in Barnsley and speak to Russ...he was extremely helpful, gonna speak to him again tomorrow and see if he can get me some but as its Sunday I thought I'd ask on here lol

These guys are very helpful - give them a ring if you can't find exactly what you need on their online shop.

I used motor bike fork covers on my old Eunos suspension. Cheap and effective.
