Default Caliper pin dust boots?

Is there anywhere you can buy just the dust boots for the caliper slider pins? Everywhere so far wants to sell me a $20+ caliper rebuild kit, when all I want are maybe a 50 cent piece of rubber.

Anyone know if or where I can get just the little rubber boots? Tried the dealership, Advanced Auto, NAPA........

Advance does show 'boot kit' on their site.

Thanks! I seriously have no idea why those yahoos told me that I would have to buy a complete kit, then again maybe they thought I wanted the piston boot or something?

Good stuff! I'm really tired of the passenger rear squealing. The boot is completely gone on one of the pins back there.

So far as I know its still going on, I really need to get up there. Supposedly also a car show on Tuesdays now with a live band at what used to be Chesapeake Bay crab house, its now a sports bar kind of place. Maybe this upcoming week I'll have to get out and about, I usually get back from class on those two days and don't feel like going back out.

"Chesapeake Bay crab house, its now a sports bar kind of place",what's the location of that ? I'll add it to my list of Florida cruise spots.
