I have LOBRO (6 15212 7500 505) comes with the boot, retaining clips, washer plates, circlips, fasteners, and grease, and very good installation instructions and pictures.
Got them from Ken at Vanagain but I "think" you can get them from Bus Depot and likely John at Aircooled.net. Probably several other of the online vendors, too.

Best,
Bob
