New terrafirma steering damper plastic...thing

Just recieved a new Terrafirma steering damper from a supplier on ebay. Opened the box to find what I thought was a blue plastic piece of packaging attached. Turns out to be the new replacement for the gaitor that I was expecting. In my opinion it looks ideal for collecting a lot of mud and stones, just what you dont want sitting against a shiny damper shaft. Have spoken to seller and he is sending the ribbed gaitor that I was expecting, but has anyone else recieved one like this?

all the ones ive had but only started getting them a few weeks ago

what was part no of damper?

Part No. TF832

Isn't that exactly the type of cover fitted to normal steering & suspension dampers? Never had a problem with one yet.

I've never seen one with anything that flimsy.
