best way to replace outer cv boot?

[steved0x]

I found another thread on here that linked to this thread:

Leaking CV Boots - Repack and Clamp - Articles

Where the author had the same problem with the OEM 74 clamp, and went with another style, but unfortunately it doesn't have a part number...

Edit; following the rabbit hole, it looks like this might be it:

This was the email reply from Dorman tech support. I am going to keep investigating and see if I can come up with something. I need to get under the car, with my calipers, and start measuring.

Good morning, sorry but we can’t search by length, by you can search by inlet and outlet size in the side tabs, under CV boot

what I learned so far by trying them:

these are two tight, I couldnt put them on (guess I was hoping for the best since they are 68mm)

these 73mm ones made by Oetiker are too loose:
CV Boot Clamp 99951248600 - Oetiker - Porsche - 999-512-486-00 | Pelican Parts


I went ahead and ordered Porsche genuine ones from Pelican (911-332-257-00-OEM).
Wish I would have done that in the first place
