Can you not buy uprated slave seals that last a bit longer than the standard ones?

I had those put in mine last october, they had disintegrated by June and now need replaced again.

Im designing a new slave, complete with better seals, getting first one machined next week to go in my car, wish me luck.

Gone for the Clever Trevor set as it was well priced and had a good description with it (We'll see how long these seals last).

Don't be scared of the postage costs, after paying I noticed that they will reduce charges for smaller items and have very kindly refunded some of the fee.

Great service.

I've got my box out atm and was oing to renew the seals, however, given that it doesn't leak now, and the stories of poor quality replacements, I'm in two minds.

The current set up has been there for 3 years and done 10K - any thoughts?

Damned if you do and damned if you don't.

Mine failed and hence why I replaced it the first time. tbh the cylinder was slightly damaged and it was a little hopeful that mine lasted this long.

I've now got a replacement cylinder so I'll be interested to see how long the seals last this time.

I concur, although I ordered via telephone not the website.
