Hi,
Has anyone had any joy fitting a universal steering rack gaiter to 2017 Plus 4?
If so, do you have a link to the gaiter you used?
Thanks in advance.

This is the one Paul. Click for source. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.carbuilder.com/images/thumbs/0031940_universal-steering-rack-gaiter-black.jpeg) Mine was fitted under warranty, supplied by myself and still leak proof after two years and nearly 10,000 miles.

Thank you for the information. My 11/2018 Plus4 was loosing oil at the gaiters too.
Fixed under warranty last year by BHM, but now some dark spots on the garage floor again. Also under warranty… so I look forward
for some DIY in next year(s).
The 290mm length, could it be also a bit shorter? 250mm?

Greets René Rene, Treesurveyor on here found a suitable SAAB one, I'm sure if you PM him he will get you the part number. Old link.

Had Techniques Morgan fit the car builder solutions gaiters three months ago. They said that they were so much better than the Morgan ones, in terms of ply ability. They also seem more robust to me & sooo much cheaper 😀

I have ordered the CarBuilderSolutions gaiter @ £11.59 including delivery. The Morgan original, which is on at the moment, is 3.5 years old and has only completed 9000 miles. It has split in a number of places. Hopefully the new one will last longer.

When I understand right, the pictured „one fits all“ gaiter is the right one for my 2018 plus4. The also bespoke „SAAB“style gaiter is for older models? Greets René
