Default Auto shifter cable rubber?

My 72 auto shifter cable missing the accordion rubber at the end where it connect to the trans' lever, and also it missing the round rubber at the floor.
Where I can buy those two missing rubber?
My cable looks good and move freely inside.
Thanks
Avner

I don't want to pay ~$100 for new cable.

I bought a used cable with a boot at the corvette expo in Sevierville, Tennessee. Cost was ten dollars - I picked the best looking boot since I only wanted the boot. Call a used vette parts supplier. Try www.cbvettes.com for a start.

I will be at Carlisle PA and try to find there, but I'm surprise that I don't find it on the web. I'm sure it's very common that the accordion boot is bad in lots of cars not only in the corvette.

Look for any used vette parts dealers while at Carlisle. I got my cable/boot at the Corvette Expo in Sevierville, Tenn. last year. There are always vendors at these events who sell used parts, etc. I've also purchased used parts from CBvettes. Contact them at "www.cbvettes.com". There is no need to purchase new. Good luck

Not to hijack this post, but it's in the same topic about the shifter cable. Could someone answer a question I posted about the installation of this cable over in the Tech section?

Thanks!
