debate!? The only one I know contesting the "vulcanized in place" /thinks it's a myth, is that trouble maker island911.
Sooo . ...This thread got me to go take some pix for you myth believers.
Shown horizontally here, the mold parting line gives away the tooling process.
IF the rubber where "vulcanized (cast/molded) in place" we would see a couple vertical parting lines. (else you could not remove the mold)
Also, fwiw, the rusty claw marks, above, are from where I grabbed the thing with some giant channel-locks to twist until it slipped. (not stuck to the shaft)
