Default Where to get a Leather Gaiter for Gearbox?

IS there an official Escort Leather Gaiter that Ford did apart from the Richbrook one?

Saw on on eBay but forgot to bid and its ended now?

Thanks.

go to a scrappy and get one out of a mk6 escort, then use the base from a rst gaitor.
stretch the leather round the base and refit- worked a treat on my rst which had a split original rubber gaitor

yeah mate just swap the bases then it will just refit as if standard- may take a bit of fiddling to look right but is a good cheap way of doing it
