...and can probably be made for fifty cents, too...

Just for reference, it is now 11 years since you first pondered on here how to reproduce the e-brake cable boots.

Wow 11 years is a longtime!!

I believes someone else has successfully 3-D printed a pair, and is in finalization stages of getting the size correct. There's a thread on here about it. But I don't know what happened with the outcome of it or if he plans on selling them?

I missed that thread. I'll have to have a look through advanced search for it.

The son of a long time friend who owns Detail Addicts in S. Fla. has successfully 3D printed the e-brake cable boots w/ a pliable material . We just need to make a a very minor adjustment on the big end & they will be ready for distribution . Very affordable to make . . Stay tuned e-brake cable boots by the end of the month .
