Can you buy the straps for the cv boots without buying a boot? I need one of the larger ones.

 

There are kits available on the web that have 4 of the clamps in a set. I don't know what brand is good or bad.

 

Sorry, should have been clearer. Im asking about the oem type. The after market ones that come with the boots will not tighten enough to keep the boot on the outer cv joint. Im curently useing twisted wire to hold them on, which does work, but would really like to have the oem straps.

 

They have a lot of adjustment play, I would think one for a small car CV boot would fit and would be sold separately at any auto parts store.
The hose clamp and wire trick does not offer a completely water tight fit.

 

yea i can't rememeber which brand,toyota, nissan or one of them was a good fit so as mentioned take the clamp to the parts store to match one up if you can. just make sure that you 100% get them tight or they will leak.

 

I have used tie raps many times and never had a problem and they last forever.
