    That "Pat Walsh Restorations" lists them for the '42-47 models. Should be the same. However if (as I've heard said hereabouts) Walsh buys them from the 'usual Hudson suspects' -- and if Full-Line was the only seller -- then you may be out of luck. http://patwalshrestorations.com/HUD%2042-7%202+4%20DR%20SED.htm



    I see that they're also listed by a place called Collector's Auto Supply: http://collectorsautosupply.com/crawler.asp?year=50&make=Hudson . I suspect that they, too, may be buying them from the source (which may be Dick Bell) and marking them up. But this may mean they still have some in stock, even if Dick isn't selling them anymore.



    One suggestion: contact Dany Spring over at K-Gap. If enough people ask for these items he may want to add them to his catalog. I believe they fit the Electric Hand as well.

    Is what you're looking for called a 'vacuum clutch cylinder rubber boot'?



    If so, I see that Rod Hudson is listed as a source on Jon B.'s Hudson Reproduced Parts List.

    (Woops! I might try reading my own Repro Parts List once in awhile, mightn't I! LOL!)

    I spoke with the folks at full line a week ago and also two months ago. They don't intend to make or sell any hudson parts again. They were kinda rude. I was looking for the clear plastic piece for the top of the 47 hood ornament. I was espcially polite but to no avail.

    I wish someone would take over the parts they use to make. K-gap would be the best choice in my book.
