Rear brake master cylinder

Does anyone know if / how you replace the rubber "gator" on the rear master cylinder? If you can, where can you buy one (or nearest equivalent)?

The rubber gator is a push fit but tends to tear on removal if in poor shape, they come in the seal kits and I don't think they are sold separately?

Yambits supply them but not sure how good they are?

Thanks very much for the advice. Mine is torn already, so need to replace it.

I'll try Yambits.
