Rear Brake help please

Just had to replace both rear brake calipers pins and roters. I have been unable to locate the rubber boots that cover the caliper pins. The local parts store advises me that part is no longer available and the Toyota dealer wants me to purchase 2 - $55 caliper rebuild kits to get these boots.
Does any one on this site have a source for these?

thanks
Keith

New question for the rear bakes. there are two pins holding the caliper to the mount bracket. one has a groove aprox 1/2" from the end that a rubber ring slip into. Does it matter which guide hole this pin is in?
I don't have a service manual and like a idiot I have taken both calipers off to replace the pin boots.
please help..
