Default shock boots

i picked up a set of gently used 04 Z06 shocks. when they got to my house they only had 3 of the shock boots (the plastic peice that looks like an upside down kids cup on top of the shock). does anyone know if the boot off of my 1997 fe1 shocks will fit the Z06 shock? if not, where do I find a spare top piece?

I can't image that it would fit, as the shocks are different diamenter. The come with the shock assembly, so you'll have to check a recycler, etc.

I used my stock dust covers on a used set of Z51 shocks. They fit great. I used a little armor-all and they shined up like new. FYI my old shocks were stock from a 97 C5 A4.
