Part No. 81T 3332A: Retainer- Drag link grease- rubber

I don't know if these are generic to other Ford vehicles but have never seen them on the usual Ford repro parts websites.

I have a couple NOS drag link seals to supply as a sample but the NOS shock absorber seal is the only one I have and I took it off the truck for the photo.
I have however made accurate measurements of it before putting it back on the truck.

It would be a lot easier to produce the dies for them than the gearshift boot and as 6 are required for the shock absorbers and 2 for the drag link a large volume would probably be required to be produced.

If they are available already someone probably can inform me but I've had no luck finding them.

Food for though anyway as hundreds would be required worldwide for our CMP truck enthusiasts.

Cheers,
They would differ between models though wouldn't they e.g F15 to F30 to F60L.? More so the drag link rubber than the shock absorber one.
