The one linked seems to have a few more ridges than the 75 one and longer as well. Do you reckon it would fit?

They are universal and fit most cars I've fitted them on pajeros and Mercs down to the wife little hyundia Amica with no problem . They just trim to size.. The only thing I recommend is using cable ties instead of the metal ties supplied

Have a look at this you tube how to shame your so car down country

just had to fit a good jubilee clip , as the cv boot which had been tied with a cable tie had come free, all the grease had splattered out onto the inside of the wheel,took me ages to get all the grease off the wheel,my mate who owns a garage fitted the new clip and greased it up,and he did it for nowt

Nice one though never really know a zippy break free unless it was damaged or not fitted correctly. They are the preferred method o restraint for law enforcement agencies and military around the world. 😜

Although you got it done for free most garages would have used a metal tie or another zippy as a jubilee clip could and I say COULD throw your driveshaft out of balance.

The reason why a lot of people use zippy ties is the are a lot easier to tension and don't need a special tool like the metal clips you with the sticky boot..
