Here's the Moment article. I replaced the lever-side like Harold
did, and it did reduce leakage some, but I still get a weep. Maybe
the dual O-ring and/or spacer is the way to go?<br>

Jean, Sterling must have caught on to the demand; their minimum
order was 'only' 20 when I bought. Sterling is a small, family-run
operation, I believe they are Russian immigrants (at least, the
matriarch sounds like it). I ended up chatting with the owner for
over a half-hour; his son is a charter jet pilot, and he loves to
talk about him ;). They were pretty casual, I tried to pay
immediately with a CC but, while the company is back east
somewhere their 'billing department' is in Florida--apparently run
by one of their sons--and I didn't get an invoice for several
months. I offered some to Magnus Karlsson, who I believe is in
Sweden (and a noted Healey restorer), but made the mistake of
sending them in a small shipping envelope; Magnus said they were
held for ransom in Swedish customs and he had to pay the
equivalent of $20 or so to rescue them.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">In the January/February 2019 issue of the
AHCUSA Magazine, Roger Moment described that originally on
the overdrive for the 3 speed gearbox, the valve operating
shaft used seals, not “O” rings. They were replaced by “O”
rings at some point during the production right through the
end of the BJ8. Roger was told by a mechanic about a 4 edge
ring substitute available that has been found more reliable
and durable than the “O” rings. They are called Buna Quad
Seals, available from Sterling Seal and Supply, part #
Q-109-7470. The problem is that they sell in quantity of
100. I purchased 100 of them and used a pair immediately and
they have proven to be very good so far. Many friends have
used them as well with good results, I still have about 40
if someone needs any.</p>
