Thanks guys. Ended up using a lithium based grease used on airbrake equipment at work. I would think it's very similar in consistency Marty so it's slightly tacky and will stay put and not runny like an oil.

Cheers

Had a discussion with Mike from Yesterford as I want a set of rack boots to fit so I can complete the rack. He insists that he fits the ones he stocks to all Escort racks without a problem however the dimensions he states are similar to the ones that I have which I think are too small.
Has anyone purchased a set from Yesterford?

Cheers

Update. The RD ones fit but I think they're too short as on full lock the boots were quite stretched and to the point they restricted rack movement. Therefore the ones I ordered from Yesterford were overall larger and longer. Fitted up and much better plus they appear much better quality and far more supple. Images attached of brand and part #.
