Yeah, I may have to spring for a rebuilt oem. Having to spring for 3 is what will hurt! It's against my nature to discard a component simply due to a worn 23 yo seal. I trust my judgement as to whether a MC is rebuildable. Perhaps the outrageous price quoted by my local parts store reflects an allowance for liability issues.?

Thanks for responding kmaysob.

Anyone out there have a source? I'm still looking!
