 The originals apparently aren't available nowadays, and AFAIK there are no replicas being made.  There are, however, alternatives:

1.  Several folks have used a cut-down Mr. Gasket rubber gearshift boot for the task.

2.  A gaiter could be fabricated from vinyl, plastic, or rubber sheet secured in place with either a length of the 3/8" diameter corrugated plastic tubing sold as sheathing for auto wiring, or a section of steel wire (i.e. a coat hanger) bent to form springy expander rings.

3.  You could secure the vinyl, etc., sheet in place using contact cement and/or screws.
