 Years ago I made an accumulator piston to use an O ring. The result
was an abject failure as tiny chunks of the O ring were sliced off
each time it passed over the pressure relief drillings in the housing.
Any clue as to how that has been overcome?

others, but don't think it was any different than the OEM one I took
out.

 Too late now, but had I known of it I might have bought the AH Spares
version with O-ring(s?) on the piston instead of metal rings. The
metal rings will score the accumulator bore eventually.

	I am replacing the accumulator housing, piston and rings. When I
opened the piston box, there was only one wide ring with two narrow
rings. Shouldn’t there be two wide rings and four narrow to make up
two ring sets for the piston?
