john fox Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 wanted - brake master cylinder seal no: LV6MT9/2590-99-802-7354 (fits CVRW Fox) Lockheed part no: 102964 Banister does not stock individual brake parts and google finds a company that sells Lockheed seals but not this one. If necessary I will consider the entire repair/service kit Lockheed SSB771 but I'd prefer just the seal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirhc Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Have you tried looking up a local commercial vehicle brake specialist? I use a company called Pickering Brakes & Clutches in Ilkeston. They have nearly always managed to find what I need, even CVRT master cylinder kits etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing "correct" about the seal he supplied is it is rubber and is 1 1/2 inches in diameter. It is an entirely different shape and given the application is in the brake master cylinder, I do not trust it to work correctly as the piston in the cylinder engages with the raised "pip" on the Lockheed seal - the one he supplied is completely flat and there is nothing for the piston to engage on, let alone the absence of the raised central "dome" impacting the distance of travel for the piston which "dome" presumably having been designed for such reason ?

REME 245 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 (edited) Past Parts in Bury St Edmunds can get individual seals made up from an example. They made seals for my Daimler Armoured Car Wheel Cylinders. Obviously make clear the type of Brake Fluid you are using.

lowfat Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 I’d try past parts as well. He usually overhauls the whole cylinder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

16svt Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 have you tried Bernie Smith. He sorted all my seals for my AEC O854 and was very very good. http://www.vintagevehiclespares.com/links.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
