Back in the '60s leather gaiters and new wooden bobbins were readily available (mine came from Jack Dalby at Kirby Wiske), I replaced them on at least three of my cars. From memory the bobbins were not a tight fit on the shaft - I think it would be pretty difficult to replace the gaiter if the bobbins did not slide into a suitable position.
