    <p>They have a warehouse in NJ and can call up to 6P and will be
      here in the morning at no extra charge. No minimum orders and over
      the years have never encountered a back order or out of stock
      item. <br>
    </p>
    <p><br>
    </p>
    <p>Hardest part of dealing with them is getting a printed catalog. 
      When I was working I could not get one.  They told me who had one
      at my employers location to look at.   But I did get one as the
      stockroom gal got me a current one as a retirement gift!  <br>

          <p>Simon,</p>
          <p>Not sure where you are located but there must be a place in
            your area that sells "O" rings. Go there and ask for "O"
            rings that can be subjected to constant exposure to brake
            fluid, bring an old one with you so they can have the right
            size for you. You should not use the "O" rings that you can
            get at places like Home Depot etc. they will not be suitable
            for your application. There is a place where I live that has
            all types of "O" rings, you just need to mention the
            application, like oil, or fuel etc and they should be able
            to help you.</p>

                    Lockheed Servo in years but my initial response was
                    to suggest that you buy a box of different size
                    ?O-rings?. We get them over here anyhow....a plastic
                    box about 5? by 3? with little compartments filled
                    with different sized rings. Costs nothing and the
                    contents will keep you going forever. And there will
                    be a ring in there that fits. And they are probably
                    on eBay. BUT, BUT, will an ordinary O-ring survive
                    in brake fluid? I don?t know, but I do know that I
                    put in a Girling rebuild kit once which worked fine
                    for a while and then gave up. There was no warning,
                    no gradual process. I nearly hit a wall. One of the
                    little nylony/rubbery things had turned itself into
                    something with the same consistency and usefulness
                    as a ten year old tea bag. It didn?t like brake
                    fluid and it dissolved.</span></p>
