[DeTomaso] Ball Joint Boots

[John Taphorn]

Hi Greg

I had been the advocate and am using ES boots on my L Model.

The rear upper ball foint boot is part # 9.13119G.  Again it requires 
trimming of about 1/8" around it's circumfereance.

I believe that I am using part # 9.13101G on the front.  I do not recall the 
trimming requirement if any.

The trimming is requirement is easily inspected before the tie rod is bolted 
in place by test fitting first.
