Did a search and didn't see anything, but perhaps I didn't do the search right.
Specifically interested in fitment and how close they are to factory NOS...as well as any design improvements? Mine work okay, but the chrome is tired and the thought of rechroming fatigued metal is unappealing. NOS means a search, while I wonder about the quality of later factory parts given what we've seen. The 914rubber pieces could be a nice alternative, but I'd love some pics and feedback from those who bought them. Thanks in advance! pete |

I think a good place to start is a flapper repair kit. It solves a problem and is a step toward makin a complete unit.
I’ll post up more as this comes together. Mark |

The lock/main body can be repaired. Thinking on this after just rereading this, I think someone should make just the flapper part from a loss wax prosses casting in brass. You can work out the perfect size and the tooling would be very easy using the original part. It will take someone gifted in casting and then finishing of the brass parts to work out the increase in size for shrinkage So much stronger that the original part. Bob B |
