In the hunt for an original seat collar for my newly acquired 92 Yo, I ran a couple leads down. Thought the effort was worth sharing with others who may want the same thing.
DKG still has some original Yo Eddy seat collars in stock. On a side, the owner of that company is good to go. I picked one up for $21 with shipping. As others have told me (Rody, Nate), the green rubber seal isn't critical or even necessary.
As a final throw to the wind, I shot an e-mail to Scott (former FC employee and all knowing historian) reference the green rubber seal. He said the seals were probably made at Greene Rubber (go figure), based in Mass. Wayne, a 40 year Greene Rubber employee, and I talked today. He has no recollection, and said their records are only good from 2004 on.
They would need a CAD drawing or at the minimum a sample seal to make more. Sounds like too much work for something not needed.
