not sure what the shaft is but a 'universal' boot kit may be of some use

they take a little more getting on than manufacturer ones but do the same job usually just as well!

No point putting a boot on if the shaft is wrong.

Where did it come from, what's the hub look like?

It came off a 1.8 j plate sierra chasseur with rear drums
will put some pics of the hubs later proper got me stumped
the drive cup has a ford stamp inside it???

There are two types of sierra push in shafts as far as I know and that's the later type. They're the same as mine and they came off a "H" plate.

They differ as well based on engine size, I think 1.3 & 1.6 is different to 1.8 & 2.0 .. I have experience of that but it was circa 1997..
