Sources for stuffing boxes ...

I'm building inboard power boats and I need to find a supplier of stuffing boxes. Not the expensive "dripless" type because I already know where to find that type. What I'm looking for are the old-fashioned inexpensive type that require flax or PTFE packing.

The more suppliers the better since I would like to have a choice of where I buy them. I you have a reference please feel free to post it because I've tried google and I'm not getting anywhere.

Thanks.
