Default Photo request: steering shaft boot/cover

I'm in the process of replacing my rack and pinion, its slowly bleeding from the steering shaft input, probably from being unprotected, apparently there is supposed to be a protective cover over the steering shaft, but mine is missing.

I have a friend with a wrecked '99 V6 car that has one, but I need a picture of one from an LS car so I know it will match, I know the V8 and V6 cars have different rack and pinions with different input angles so I'm wondering if they will have different boots to match. thanks for the help guys, if you stick the camera right next the the steering pump you can probably get a pretty good shot
