****************************************
The original (to my knowledge) on all GT6's (as well as Spitfires) was the
Furflex, the cloth covered variety can be purchased through J.C. Whitney
(?), will work, and is VERY similar to the Furflex, but has a slightly
larger rubber bulb dia. Apparently, the source for the original Furflex
also makes this for use in Ferraris and it's becoming increasingly hard to
come by. Last I heard, it was no longer being manufactured!
