Handbrake Cable Gaiters

[Carolyn]

I know a couple of members have located gaiters that can be used on the handbrake cables.  I've bought a couple of sets off the internet, but neither are close to that which is needed.

I keep the cables lubricated and they are working fine, but the rubber bits are now rags. New rubber would keep these going for quite some time, I'm sure.

Can anyone point me in the right direction, please?

I've used these with small cable ties.

Good for the help to be the other way round for a change. 

The lack of other responses suggests this is a tricky one....I struggled to find something last year.
If you know of a place that maintains garden machinery, something else that can be used is the rubber gaiters on control cables....but it needs to be off cables that are being replaced.... not available to buy separately as far as I know.

@Mikeymead may be able to offer advice on garden machinery rubber gaiters.
