If you need any of the drive shaft tube "bellows seals" I can get
reproductions. They are more expensive than the NOS ones that you may find,
(what reproduction isn't more expensive) but the NOS ones are rubber that
was made in the 1950's and tend to be brittle.
If you need any let me know and I'll find out exact pricing. Another
concern is how to ship it.
