6” tank boot supplier?

[Fibonacci]

I’m chasing two rubber tank boots to suit twin Spiro 6” diameter vintage steel tanks… that just passsd hydro!
Searched high and low but cannot seem to find them, any leads gratefully received.

I don't have an insight for these boots, but must ask, are these steel tanks, or aluminum. If steel, and they are not galvanized, I would not put a tank boot on them due to corrosion potentials. 'Just some random thoughts.

Thanks John...
These are vintage La Spirotechnique 9L steel tanks, originally off a twin set... round bottoms.
They originally had a light zinc plating then painted yellow... this plating has worn off in some small areas but is generally sound.
Both tanks passed hydro recently.
I used paint stripper vs media blasting to preserve the rest of the plating, will then refinish in two pack epoxy marine paint.
They originally had an unusual cojoined twin boot, similar to the Bi-Acier Luxe pictured but long since perished.
While I agree a boot can trap water and lead to corrosion if not checked regularly, having the ability to stand a twin set up briefly while donning the webbing can be handy.
Closest I can find is this, but no info on tank diameter vs every other listing

Thanks for the offer but steel 72 cu ft are too big in diameter.
