Bonnet plug boot

Hi all, anyone know if the rubber boot for the 8 pin plug is available on its own please. Plug itself is fine, ideally just need the boot. Many thanks. Chris.

Problem will be getting it on the loom - the new ones are poly rather than rubber. Not easy to un-solder the 50 year old joints and get them back without damage but doable.

Ta, fitting a new loom tho, The plug is perfect other than the boot.

Xk's Unlimited has them for about $20:

Which means there is every chance that Moss in the UK can get them as they bought the parts side of XKS Unlimited a while ago.
It was certainly the case for the stainless reservoir sender units that used to be unique to XKS Unlimited. I ordered them from my local Moss branch and avoided the carriage and duty.
Based on e mails and literature I’ve had, they seem to be pushing the Jaguar stuff.Worth asking.

I asked Moss for their price for the stainless reservoir senders: circa £58 each that's twice the $29.99 XKs Unlimited charge.
Their excuse was they've had to do all the expensive thing of importing them and paying all the carriage and duty, etc.
And a very unfriendly attitude when I pointed out the exorbitant price uplift
