Found my hand brake gaiter was just a vestige, very miffed as this has only lasted 3 years. Got new one and its about 1/8" thick. No way will this flex like a gaiter, its more welly boot. fitted it and its stiff enough to hold the brake on! Cut it to let it work but no way is this a success. Plan is now to cut the whole rear away to leave a 1" flange then fit a flexible gaiter to that. I've orgered a "universaly hand brake gaiter" from e-bay which I hope I can join on to the front of the new one.
This is the old one after 3 years:
