or is there an alternative?

Difficult to find - they do very ocassionally come up on eBay - just mentioning hard-to-find items here often results in said-item appearing there . Newford Ford do one they say will fit but with a round concertina:

I got mine off a helpful Aussie on the forum - from a Ford Tanus, I think - apparently they were more numerous down there than in the northern hemisphere.

Having had the same problem and driving a Vauxhall Carlton GSI 3000 at the time I found that the leather gear lever gaiter from a Vauxhall Carlton (not necessarily a GSI and sourced from a scrap yard) worked fine for me, like so:

Hi Rich M,

I have a 68 DHC and my gaiter was all split and given the quality of rubber these days I opted to get my local motor trimmer to make a new leather/vynyl gaiter made, it looks the part and will not split.

Regards,
