Lively's shaft seal bellows problem?

[lively]

Ok guys the name of the shaft seal i have is a LASDROP and it has a ribbed bellow that makes that seal against the SS round stock ....

question : can i use 1 1/2'' straight rubber and reuse the carbon core that the shaft rides on ?

this seal is similar to PSS but , when i called them to get a new bellow she said 70.00 for just the rubber !!

what can i do ?

i had to get new bellows several years ago. i can't remember how much $ it was. got it from PSS. re-used the collar.

straight rubber won't work. it has to be able to compress a bit or it will be leaky.

i just called PSS they are 100$ for bellow , orings, clamps, set screws .. so i might just get that ....( what size are the shafts on these) ?

Oh, you're welcome Lively. Hahaha!
