Hydraulic spool valve control cable brand help

Hi,

I'm doing some maintenance on a 2004 Volvo EC25 and the rubber boots on some of the hydraulic spool valve control cables (for the pedals) are in need of replacement. Dealership sells only the complete cable which is a bit overkill for my need.

The markings on the cable casing are non existant or impossible to read. Anyone know the brand of cables with these marking on the linkage? Or if the boots are sold separately at all?

Thank you!

Thank you for your reply. Finding generics ones is easy, yes. But the right ones with correct ID at both ends that provide a good seal has proven to be much more difficult. That's the reason why I'm trying to find out the cable manufacturer.

The linked picture below the one visible is what they look like.

Bunker Hill cables, will sell new boots I believe. Just need some measurements.
Generally, if boot is failing or already failed, cables are not too far behind.
Depending on wether you can lube them.
