Source for aftermarket rubber vacuum fittings (boots)?

I'm looking for all the rubber vacuum boots that GM used to conect all of the vacuum lines. Mine are old and worn, likely causing massive vacuum leaks. I know I can get them from the dealer, but I was hoping to find some aftermarket. Anyone know of an aftermarket source?
 


autozone sells a vac line kit, last one i saw was like 15 bucks or so. came with a bunch of tee's and fittings, no vac hose tho. at least i didn't see any in the box.
 
Thanks, I'll take a look. The vacuum lines are primarily metal and plastic (IIRC), it's just the boots that connect them together seem to be rotting.
 
there are also kits on line to change everything over to "new" nice fat silicon colored vac tubing, i've seen a few on here with them, but don't know where to order it.
 
I haven't looked into it any further. I actually took duct tape and wrapped mine, then secured them with several zip ties. Definitely not a recommended long-term solution, but works for now.
 


I actually was just in there broke, well dry rotted boot broke while polishing fuel rails. Autozone didnt really help me but hey maybe your can
 
I used black duct tape, so it doesn't look TOO ghetto. I'm really surprised that there isn't an aftermarket source for the boots. They are unique items and there are a lot of 3800s on the road; I think they'd be highly marketable item.
 
your not looking hard enough there is a vac line kit for these cars. its on line, and you need to cut it all to size.
