[Spits] FW: Caterham type trunnionless front suspension kit

[Daniel Parrott]

No, it didn't come with a rubber boot. I'm thinking of making one by loading
the lowest part with some silicon sealant to cover the ball, and then to dip
the whole assembly in some of that tool handle dip to protect the silicon.
I could the trim away the unnecessary tool handle dip to protect the sealant
from getting contaminated from dirt and water. 

I'll let everyone know how it works out.

Does the ball joint have a rubber boot that is not shown in the photo?
I hope so.  Otherwise water and dirt would get in the socket and stay here!
