The OP states he is looking for an “original” one, not a bad fitting chinesium part.

Have you seen one ? NO, right so don't knock it if you have not seen one. I needed one and had one so I bought one and YOU can't tell the difference in the two.

Wrong, have a repop and had to modify and still not right. Get an original.

Not sure who you bought it from but the one I bought looked and fit just right. So find a rusty one and be happy. They have come a long way now.

The repops are made from pipe not tube so they don’t fit right. It shouldn’t be a hard part to reproduce but haven’t seen one yet that fits or looks like an original.
