Ron:
I rebuilt mine using Buna o-rings and a new copper washer from
the hardware store. I use DOT 5 and have for over a year. The PDWA is
still leak free and seems to be working just fine. I LOVE the fact that
the fluid will not damage paint.
I went through the o-ring bins at the hardware store until I
found some that were a good fit (took the PDWA with me to the hardware
store). So far this seems like a working strategy.
'Course next time I step on the brakes it all might go KABLOOIE!
and my 6 and I become just another ugly statistic. Personally I thrive
on the danger - it makes me feel *manly* - but you may not feel
likewise.
Cheers,

Subject: PDWA Seals
Hello List,
I'm installing a new brake system into the TR6 and am switching over
to DOT5 silicon fluid. Supposidly the new seal kits I used to rebuild
the MC & brake cylinders are suitable for use with DOT 5 however, I have
not been able to locate seals for the double o-ring spool in the PDWA.
All the supply shops around here (Harrisburg) only carry nitrile rings
and not the EP or EPDM seals recommended for DOT5. Does anyone know what
size these rings are and where I might find a couple? Ive seen both #008
& #009 sizes referenced in various places.
Thanks,
Ron W
