Default Drive shaft covers

Been to Ford dealer this morning to order a couple of the steel covers needed to refurbish my drive shafts. The lad behind the counter couldn't find them on his parts fisch. Anybody know the part number and if they are still available?

I think there are two different sizes and my shafts are from a diesel.

Surely there must be a market for these given the number of sierra driveshafts around?

i take it your on about the tin can/crimp on type cv boots for sierra drum brake type drive shafts.
i know there are 2 types 73 and 77mm cv body dia
was 2 auto factors and there is no pattern replacments thay could find
i think recon shafts are still availble but thay are going to be expensive
