1939 Buick Special Torque Ball/ Tube Seal Kit

[fosbreed1]

Can anyone direct me to a source for a torque ball/tube SEAL KIT for a 1939 Buick Special or

does anyone have the kit to sell ?

Bob's has the boot, shims and maybe the torque ball.

Mark (on this forum) made some rubber torque balls and sold some to Bob's

I relined a batch of torque balls last year.  Bought the mold and information on how to do the process from the gentleman that used to do them for Bob's.  I needed uncured neoprene rubber of the proper durometer and an industrial metal to rubber bonding compound and an oven to vulcanize the rubber.  Bob's purchased most of my relined torque balls, they are available from him online.  I currently only have a pile of cores awaiting relining.  Uncured neoprene (not easy to find) has a shelf life of less than 6 months, and the industrial bonding agent has a shelf life of less than a year and will only ship to an automotive business address.   (I'm just a retired guy, with no automotive background tinkering in my garage)  I may reline the cores I have this summer.
