Just to expand on that a bit, those seals were not included in the rebuild
kits for a long time. IIRC, even the kit I got in an 'AC' box didn't have
it. (I found an old brake cylinder seal to use instead.)
I also recently got a kit from TRF that included the seal; but perhaps other
vendors are still selling kits without the seal.
