Clutch boot

Clutch boot which one? Finally decided to replace the old clutch boot where the lever joins the bell housing. I'd been put off a bit by the prospect of disconnecting a perfectly adjusted clutch cable. Old and new rubber boot: Only that's not right. part number 93808673 (£6)  fits all clutch housings from 3.5t to 5.9t. But I've got a clutch from a 6.5t and needed a different boot (the hole in the housing is oval rather than rectangular). The new part, number  99479450 is actually smaller and cheaper (£3): Looks good: I could easily remove the clutch cable, but I never managed to work out how to remove the nobly bit - I just stretched the boot over it.
