Guest michel van eesbeeck Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 I have established that the diaphragm within the vacuum unit on my 1942 club coupe has perished. Can anyone help me in locating a firm where these diaphragms could be purchased??.I have checked all the various elements on the vacamatic transmission (contacts, governor, engine idle speed etc etc) and unfortunately the problem has been identfied with the diaphragmmany thanksMichel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest michel van eesbeeck Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 michel van eesbeeck Many thanks to all with your useful advice; I have found a NOS diaphragm and have ordered it right away - However I have a question. I will of course checking this diaphragm as soon as it arrives but am always slightly concerned about a 70 years+ piece of rubber...Would you, gentlemen, have any experience with these NOS in terms of reliability? Also would anyone know if there is a company that is manufacturing these diaphragm new?( I have just received an answer from Steele Rubber - they do'nt have this part in stock) Many thanks Michel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
