Larry,

I do not know the exact answer, but I used to do hydraulics in the US Navy.
If you have the old O-rings, or at least the measurements (heck, take the
proportioning valve w/ you), go to any hydraulic hose & fitting shop
(AeroQuip, Parker-Hannifin, etc) and any decent parts guy can find you a
match.

I used to have all the different materials and specs memorized, but not
anymore, so I did a quick Google check (ain't the Internet great?), and
found several fluid/o-ring material charts. Looks like Viton is the best
O-ring material for brake fluid.

Hope this helps.

Hi Everyone,  I never heard back from anyone on list or vendors.  I was
hoping someone would know about these things.  Larry.

To all Listers and Vendors,  I am trying to find the "o" rings that are
required here.  Two small and one slightly larger.  Do the vendors still
have the kits?  I checked w/ Nissan in Japan and they are NLA there.  If
vendors don't have them, then does anyone on the list know of a good source.
I realize they must work in the brake fluid conditions (I forgot the rubber
descriptive that hydraulic shops here quoted).  Larry.
