So where can one find a new boot that covers the accelerator cable as it enters the engine bay? All the major online vendors don't carry them. Are they even replaceable?

| That boot comes on the complete accelerator cable assembly. I change out the whole thing everytime I get a vanagon. The last one looked to be in great shape until I removed it and only 2 strands of the cable were hanging on- cheap insurance to not get stuck in BFE. http://www.volkscafe.com/vanagon_parts.jsp?pa=p&p=190955827&ct=1167066442 |

I bought mine from Bus Depot. I don't have the part number anymore but you could get it from the dealer.

I was wondering about fitting something like the brake cable boots found on bicycles or something else maybe?
