I got the boot from CV Restoration (1-800-338-2326). They sell on EBAY, but I could not find the part for MBZ 1985 300D. I contacted them, they sent me a list of all the boots with diagrams for dimensions. I was not able to find anything exact size for the 300D. Anyway, I ordered part # 86-2863 and cut off one section (1/4 in) from the larger end, so it will fit the can on the shaft (about 2.75 inch diameter?).
After I put on the screws, I put on glue around the seam so I have double insurance to prevent any leaks. So far so good.
