<p>Simon,</p>
<p>Not sure where you are located but there must be a place in your area that sells "O" rings. Go there and ask for "O" rings that can be subjected to constant exposure to brake fluid, bring an old one with you so they can have the right size for you. You should
not use the "O" rings that you can get at places like Home Depot etc. they will not be suitable for your application. There is a place where I live that has all types of "O" rings, you just need to mention the application, like oil, or fuel etc and they should
be able to help you.</p>

<span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; color:#1F497D">Look, I haven’t played with a Lockheed Servo in years but my initial response was to suggest that you buy a box of different size “O-rings”. We get them over here anyhow....a
plastic box about 5” by 3” with little compartments filled with different sized rings. Costs nothing and the contents will keep you going forever. And there will be a ring in there that fits. And they are probably on eBay. BUT, BUT, will an ordinary O-ring
survive in brake fluid? I don’t know, but I do know that I put in a Girling rebuild kit once which worked fine for a while and then gave up. There was no warning, no gradual process. I nearly hit a wall. One of the little nylony/rubbery things had turned itself
into something with the same consistency and usefulness as a ten year old tea bag. It didn’t like brake fluid and it dissolved.</span></p>
