Simon,

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 co=
nstant 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 a=
t places like Home Depot etc. they will not be suitable for your applicatio=
n. 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 a=
ble to help you.


Jean

Look, I haven't played with a Lockheed Servo in years but my initial respon=
se was to suggest that you buy a box of different size "O-rings". We get th=
em over here anyhow....a plastic box about 5" by 3" with little compartment=
s filled with different sized rings. Costs nothing and the contents will ke=
ep 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 f=
luid? 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 gr=
adual 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.

A few enquiries of the right people should see you right....

Simon

Hi,



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.



Just to make sure I described the part correctly, the air valve piston  is =

I took the whole thing apart last winter, and everything looks like it's in=

thanks,



Tom
