I was lucky that my current “K” had one that is still in good shape. I have some old memory of the one in my old “K” convertible was not. I seem to remember taking two layers of inter-tube and layering them with spray adhesive into a new tube shape and using 3M adhesive to cut off and glue the flange to it. Or, something like that.
These days when I have a tore up rubber part that has not replacement I also ‘rebuild” them using Plasti Drip. I use a brush or dip the part into it and build it back up with many coats or dips. It works surprisingly well you just have to take time.
Steer & Gear rebuilt my steering gear.
They returned it painted flat black.
Not sure that is correct?
Did they leave the factory in plain ol’ metal?
If so, what would keep it from appearing rusty sooner than later?
The Steering Gear Insulator (part #19-14-38)
Anyone know if Quirey has these?
Didn’t see them in the Gary Goers catalog.
Mine is not totally destroyed, but don’t know if some tears in the sidewall of the piece matters?
