Working on my 55 and 58 2-tons. (model 6400) the vacuum diaphragm actuator for the speedometer adapter is shot. Does anyone make replacement diaphragms, or do you modify a vacuum advance module to activate it or what is the fix?

I used a 3M sealant (glue) used for attaching rubber trim to cars. I took apart the unit, cleaned well and applied several thin layers to the outside and inside. This fix held vacuum and I have since found a NOS part on Ebay.

you applied the glue to the inside and outside of the rubber diaphragm? I will see if one of mine is good enough for that, may not be enough rubber left! Do you remember what the official name of the part is called?
