i'd be happy to make you one but i'm going to have to know a bit more about where it fits, what are the mating surfaces and exact measurments
you dont have to pay me to do it, it would be nice to help get an old piece of iron running again
are you wanting to make a new pair or its mate and do you have pics showing what it is and what it does.
i have no clue what i'm looking at it's not chinese ( attempt at humor ) lol

hi paul
here is what i have done so far on the prototypes, there is a defect on a side of one by the bolt hole. that dont affect the fit. I made this from scrap and didnt notice how out of square it was, so there is a .010 flat spot. your brass ones wont have that.
i will order the packing tomorrow and hold off machining the pocket until i have it. then i will add the packing to these so you can see how you like what we are doing.
once completed i will mail these to you for a test fitting with the packings installed.
once we are sure of the fit i'll make the brass ones. if you want to do it a different way once you try them. let me know

can you post a pic of where these fit on your machine?
the short leg on the original has the wiper extending all the way to the end and the housing is open, i'd like to see how that is fitting the machine and way.
also if you will please measure the thickness of the way for me.
i can measure the unbroken one but i'm not sure if they had the bottom piece of brass someone soldered in rubbing the bottom of the way and i dont want to make the opening too large or small

also in this pic the lower wiper in sitting in a pocket that is closed from all three sides, does this side on the back need to be closed or is it flat against the machine. if this end is not against a flat surface i will need to make sure i have a pocket also.
