Would you happen to have a ...

Bell replacement for Olds o99 tuba

I have an Olds 3 valve tuba where the bell flare has vertical tears. Is there any replacement bell available? I have a Yamaha 105 parts horn with a bell in good condition, however when I last measured the Yamaha has a smaller diameter at the ferrule. Will update with photos later this week.
