Source for handbrake cable gaiters?

Post by SteveLandry »

Does anyone have a US source for the gaiters or bellows that cover the caliper end of the handbrake cables? They seem to be everywhere in Europe, but no US suppliers so far... I know I can use heat shrink or similar, but I would like the real rubber bellows type unit.

Here is another option.... But if these are broke I would think that the cable is not far behind

Thanks to all. I went with the new cable solution. The old one was in good shape, but the Arizona heat wreaks havoc with some (not all) rubber parts. Strange the new assembly is cheaper than the gaiters.
