Contact the vendors on here. But they are hard to find. You may be able to get the adapter kit allowing you to use the thunderbird mc. Or rebuild kits for the original mc. Good luck getting what you need.

They are getting hard to find, I had a heck of a time trying to get mine... but I think Jeff (Blugg) over at Merkur Parts Midwest is back in stock of the later (88/89) MC.

I have one on my shelf (not for sale) that NAPA rebuilt for me. Check with your local NAPA and see if they'll rebuild yours. It will take a little while but at least you have some recourse.

This is the best way to go...Second best would probably be to get the rebuilt unit from a vendor.
