Neal:
I bought mine from Memphis Equip and Antelope Valley. New US
manufactured seals are not available. Both companies sent parts that were
new, off shore manufacture. I hate to think of using 50 year old rubber part
on a job that is such a pain in the first place, let alone having to do it
over because of old parts. Old NOS metal parts are one thing, NOS rubber is
something else.
My $.02 on the subject. Been there, done that, got the hernia.
