Completely rebuilding a TN 28   5 HP Johnson  Like my very 1st outboard growing up back home on the Mississippi.A previous thread a member said that  Mr. Lautner,the gentleman that makes leather seals for that motor for   us is taking a break from making them for awhile. I don,t want to bother him if that,s the case with a order . He has been helping all of us with tech info etc for years & I respect one,s time to take it easy.  Also mentioned by another member there was another source for these leather seals ? Can one update us ?  Thx much !  Gene in Mn
