1982 300CD Split-Boot

I have been searching all morning for a rear axle split-boot for my 1982 300CD. Does anyone have a reference? The axle is not making any noise whatsoever, and I would have never known it was split until I looked at it yesterday while changing the sway bar links. I realize most agree the split-boot is a temporary fix, but I used one on a 77 240D years ago and the boot was still perfect after 50,000 miles when I sold the car. It was held together with small screws & washers. I put about 2000 miles on the car per year;therefore, maybe a easy solution in my case. If there is no direct source for a MB split-boot, does anyone have suggestions for a universal fitment? I did have the brand/fitment of the universal type a few years ago, but I cannot find it now!

Thanks!

Richard
