Title: Where can I buy just the water seals (not a kit)??
Post by: Jim_rx7 on July 10, 2009, 05:44:36 PM
Looking to buy water seals, inner and outer. Nothing else.

Had a full block kit from rotary art not that long ago, but have since opened her up again. I don\'t need everything again, or evem what\'s in the half block kit.

Only after water seals... any ideas?

true and waiting for quality waterseals isn\'t an option, it\'s a must

Does this mean that you found a seal that was pinched bud?

Looks like possible one was slightly out of shape. I\'m gonna check the plates etc all the same.

I found mine to be "squished" and cut almost. it was very defiantly damaged and out of shape. Do you have feeler gauges to measure the tolerances of the plates?

Yeah, I have feeler gauges, straight edge, dial indicator etc etc.

Are these them?

4th and 5th item down.

Seem cheapest I can find if they are what I\'m after and are OEM. They seem what I\'m after anyway.

The full seal kit does not have OEM water seals which is what I\'m after.

Pip quoted me £200 +vat, just for the water seals?!

Sorry, the last full block kit I bought was from rotaryart and did not contain OEM seals.

The proper seals kit contains all the rubber seals you\'ll need and some spare.

I know. Last time I bought a full kit. The block has only done a couple of 100 miles since, so I only really need the water seals.
