Lantern Ring in stuffing box?

[adendis]

My 89MY 65C has 3 1/2" shafts and Hatteras drawing calls for a "Lantern Ring" sandwiched between 3 sets of 1/2" packing. Does anyone have a part number or where to get these Lantern rings?

Give the folks as Sam's a call, the number is right above your post.

Sam's does not have it. I did learn that it goes in a model 1786 Duramax Stuffing box. Pretty cool design. It's got an air bladder that seals against the shaft so you can service stuffing box in the water without leakage.
