But how about I just give you the TRW part number instead?

TRW number: 36020015.

These are an exact match for the originals. Not a 'pretty close' 
approximation, but the exact part.

Bill--another datapoint for the database....:>)

P.S. I find it fascinating that these boots are date-coded in exactly the 
same fashion as the Campy wheels--there is a 12-faceted circle with raised dots 
corresponding to month, and the last two digits of year production in the 
center. The boots I have is dated March '98 even though they were purchased less 
than a year ago, so presumably they made them in batches (BIG batches) and it 
takes awhile for inventory to wear down....
