[Fot] Rotoflex coupling

As the proud new owner of a 70 GT6 MK2 I discovered that one of the
rotoflex couplings is dry rotted. I'm going to replace both of them and I
have a question. I was looking at my usual British parts supplier's
catalogs and I see a big difference in price for the couplings. There seems
to be 2 tiers of parts, some are in the $35-$45 range and then the others
are $135-$170. For example, the $40 part in the Victoria British catalog
looks like what I need but the large price difference makes me wonder if
I'm missing something. Is it just price gouging or is there a legitimate
reason for the $175 coupling vs the $40 one? BTW, the GT will be a street
car, not a racer, if that makes a difference for the parts.

Thanks
