Look, I haven=E2=80=99t played with a Lockheed Servo in years but my =
initial response was to suggest that you buy a box of different size =
=E2=80=9CO-rings=E2=80=9D. We get them over here anyhow....a plastic box =
about 5=E2=80=9D by 3=E2=80=9D 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=E2=80=99t 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=E2=80=99t like brake fluid and it dissolved.
A few enquiries of the right people should see you right....

Hi,
=20
I am looking for a source for the 4 small O-rings that go on the air =
valve piston on the Lockheed brake booster for my BJ8.=20
=20
Just to make sure I described the part correctly, the air valve piston =
is #5 at =
http://www.v8register.net/FilesV8WN/Brake%20servo%20working%20note%201901=
09.pdf, or the "reaction piston" at =
http://www.triumph-spitfire.nl/servoimages.htm.
=20
I took the whole thing apart last winter, and everything looks like it's =
in good shape, so I don't need to replace the whole booster or get a =
re-build kit from Moss, just looking for 4 O-rings.
=20
thanks,
=20
Tom
