Where's the best place to buy rubber bellows, chaps? I always used to get them from Prestwich Models, but he seems to be stocking a different sort now, they're made from a much thinner material, and as such, seem to be worse than useless.

I got a large number some years ago on ebay and they have been very good. (Haven't had to replace one in years.)
Not much point in giving the supplier now - best to do a bit of a search.
Thin material is not necesarily bad as long as the servo movement does not stretch them too much. (I detect splits using my "connect an inflated balloon to the WTC method!)

Thanks David, just ordered a pair of Graupner bellows, they look very good. I've installed the MMB watertight push rod seals for a test, if they don't do the job, then I can always retro fit the bellows.

One of the regulars on Facebook posted these up these earlier on...cheap, or what? You can't go wrong at these prices, can you?

Those ebay ones look like the ones I have used.
A bit cheaper than the Graupner ones I bet.

Pleased to see that these bellows are still available on eBay. Thanks for the earlier link.

I've used up my stock of bellows, not because I've had to replace any (fortunately) but through building. (2 more have just gone into the Darnell Type XXI)
