Will it be ok to use it anyway or should I try to find a ggod one? Maybe - Maybe not. It depends on how badly it is scarred and if the scars are near the cork seal on the retainer. If I need a better one where could I find one ?Jim Carter used to sell a reproduction bell/cover. He also sells used parts. You might want to call them. Or, post an ad in the Swap Meet. | | |
