I'm wondering just how old the N.O.S. eBay ones were. The originals are failing quite a bit now because they're 30+ years old. The glue bond between the rubber and aluminum is giving out. Problems with the MikesXS ones include badly tapped mounting holes and softer rubber. The glue may hold but a lot of good that does if the chain saws through the rubber, lol.
It seems a while back there was a discussion on gluing the rubber back on. I don't recall if there was any luck with it. Might try a search. It seems that a good epoxy should work.
