Need a source for a cup seal for our brake master cylinders. Also needs to be compatible with 5606.
Cylinder bore is .937, shaft dia is .372, seal is 5/16" (.312) in width.
Any leads appreciated, local hydraulic services company struck out .

I know people who have made new pistons that use O-Rings for applications where the OEM seals are no longer available. |

Craig, Try Baum Hydraulics on Omaha, NE. They have a pretty good assortment and have been helpful to me in the past. baumhydraulics.com Curt |

It's hard to believe no one is producing something like that, I am having serious doubts about how hard the folks that were looking for us looked on their 'nation wide' search. |

Just made a call to find out what we did (it's been a while). Turns out we couldn't find any seals etc to fit, so we used T28 master cylinders & that cured the ongoing Wildcat brake problem we were having. hth

We may have a set of those around, if not I know where one is sitting static that's not going anywhere! Thanks for the heads up on that one. I was getting close to looking into something like that if nothing materialized with the seals soon. Craig |
