Default emergency brake cables

At the end of each brake cable there is a rubber boot where it connects to the caliper. Both of mine are deteriorated. They appear to be very mushy and sticky with a holes in them. Are these boots available? I've seen pics of new cables but they don't show the boots.

96

My car has 5500 miles on it. I can't imagine I would find a better one in a junk yard.

Hmmm. That's interesting, but they probably wouldn't know which one of their offerings would match the boot on the 96. They appear to be an OEM supplier for Asian manufacturers. They'll want to sell me 10,000 of them. I guess I could share them with other forum members

Does GM sell this boot separately? Is there a part number? Or does it only come with the factory installed cables?
