Re: Broke the bank ordering all new rubber!!!
The rubber gets expensive. At least you only have to do it every 30 years or so.
There aren't any new/reproduction hatch handles available. You'll have to search for used or get creative. Someone said that you can get a t-handle that is very similar at the local hardware store. As for the gaskets, I've seen them someplace. Did they not list them in LMC? Ya might check with some of the vendors on the board.

Re: Broke the bank ordering all new rubber!!!
Northern Tool & Equip. carries one T-handle. An unnamed vendor (because I don't remember who I ordered it from) charges $25 for this same piece.
Cut the shaft to fit, get new SS hardware to mount it. http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/w...20322&R=120322

Re: Broke the bank ordering all new rubber!!!
Wish I would have seen those t-handles before I paid big $$$ for an original and still had to have keys made for it..
