i got mine from ebay.co.uk ages ago, can only see one listing now, but there'll be more

... think the "power" may be a typo.....

... or maybe, they're made from a special rubber, that eliminates the need for a power assisted steering set up, and one can breeze round the corners with a minimum of effort

Hi Bob, standard Torana ones fit.  Take what is left of your old one into your local Repco etc and they should be the same.  Don't forget that you only need a tiny amount of oil in them or it will pressurise the boots and shorten their life heaps.

Cheers
