4 hours of repair and $500 later ...Clarification !

[Jim Jordan]

Hi,

And, I add, I made one from a piece of innertube that lasted for over 3
years.  It was still intact when I wrestled it out and put in an official
white one.

It took me 3 years to find out that I could buy a diaphragm for under $30...

BTW, I bought the official one from Linda at Carlsen, but apparently they no
longer cater to people trying to make their cars immortal.

Cheers!

Jim Jordan
