I been checking up a bit, it seems to me that all supension gaiters on the mk1 CX are the same, the cynliders peg/pin are different length (the bar that go's inside the ram and is sealed by the rubber gaiter where the r pin holds it in place are different in size.
vin number VF7Y3AT0001AT3654

See you're still looking.
Was this one no good?

I see that they're also available here*:
https://www.pieces-de-rechange-classic. ... siere.html

* I've just ordered a pair for myself (2.5 rear, 95549188) from these folk. Have a very slight weep on one side on one of the folds.

The pair of new 2.5 rears arrived from Pieces-de-Rechange-Classic this morning, within 72hours of ordering.
NFP item, but recent 'Citroen Classic' stock.

Well Gaitors we now know we can get hold of easy enough, now for the rest the o rings and scaper ring are no longer made also, so it will need to be good seconds or good copy of those rings, the only other choice that i am looking into, is replacement of the whole cylinder, piston ram, rod, rings and gaitor all in one go. I found 2 cx estates in a scrapers that have the same cylinders as the XM estate
