Gaiter them, Frank? Well you know there just might be room. You have from the polished band where the seal sits to the very back of the bell. There is quite a bit of room. But, all that would do I think would keep muck out that MIGHT get in there if the rest of the set up is poor. What it would do when you turned full lock is hard to know. If we had a borse cope, we could look inside one through the top access bolt hole. I'd want a very flat and probably stainless boot strap on there. You could machine a small groove to take the band I would think, but there are two flat areas on the bell to make getting the joint in and out of the housing.
I reckon it might be possible. You could possible gain an advantage by filling the boot with grease so that the steering action actually continually pressed grease back into the joint. I'd pay good money to see it.
