André Koopmann in Germany manufactures a replacement for the torn gaiters on Jack Knight rack and pinion units.
His have a metal center section, with silicone rubber outer gaiters. The shaped spacers are included in the kit.
contact via : morganwerkstatt@aol.com

I've found the "original" gaiters were thick on one end and thin on the other, and very hard to fit without tearing.

Got the gaiters installed today, and it went smoothly.
Sourced the Saab unit for $35. The Saab ends are quite larger than the original Morgan ends, so we used a length of 1 1/2" fuel line for a spacer. It's the fuel line that runs from the filler cap to the tank. It's almost 1/4" thick and mesh reinforced. For the left end we cut a piece the same width as the groove in the rack, slit it (like the letter C) and pushed it onto the rack. The right end required no cutting. Just took a length the width of the recessed area and pushed it on from the end. The fit under the Saab gaiter was perfect. A couple of clamps and off you go.

Saab units seem to be getting scarce, so it just might be cost effective to order another for a spare.
