The speedy sleeve is a very good idea for both sides of the car. Does anyone know what size and where I can order the right one for this application? I have already ordered the new gaskets, O-ring and seals to do this job. I am also going to try using Hylomar AF on the gasket. I'm not sure it is in keeping with a Spridget philosophy that htere is absolutely no leak somewhere. ;^)</div><div id="yiv5726679259yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1489102937818_15291">Mike<br clear="none"></div><div id="yiv5726679259yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1489102937818_15176"><span></span></div> <div class="yiv5726679259qtdSeparateBR"><br clear="none"><br clear="none"></div><div class="yiv5726679259yqt4657244492" id="yiv5726679259yqt09723"><div class="yiv5726679259yahoo_quoted" style="display:block;"> <div style="font-family:times new roman, new york, times, serif;font-size:16px;"> <div style="font-family:HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;font-size:16px;"> <div dir="ltr"><font size="2" face="Arial"> On Thursday, March 9, 2017 2:54 PM, "WeslakeMonza1330@aol.com" <WeslakeMonza1330@aol.com> wrote:<br clear="none"></font></div> <br clear="none"><br clear="none"> <div class="yiv5726679259y_msg_container"><div id="yiv5726679259">
