Seals Compatable with Brake Fluid?

[patmccusker]

Does anybody know where I can find a lip seal , cup seals and O-Ring that are compatable with brake fluid? MFG Name or Material name. I am particularly looking for seals for a T50/26 booster but can buy them by size if I know where to look. Thanks.

Ethylene Propylene EPM

Try that Bearing/Seal Specialties , down by the Nashua Airport.

thanks Arthur, I will look for that material. I tried bearing specialist and bought some seals from them made by harwel but they are made of NBR and I understand they are not compatable so I didnt use them. Thats all they could get.

Email these guys .. they have the seal kit for my 190sl , so they may know.

Go to 190 chassis. then click on booster picture , then click on English flag. Item #70

You will see the kit .. they may also have yours

Thanks very much, the seals look just like mine but the booster is different. Maybe they are the same size. I will try to get size info from them. If you've used the kit have you seen any sign of the seals breaking down. I see where they mention rubber seals but not what type of rubber. It seems they must be compatable or they wouldn't stay in business.

Thanks again. After closer examination of the SLS web site they do have the T50/26 which is exactly what I have.

This is a German Co, so I can assure you they would not be using anything but correct/compatable material seals..
and probably better than OEM, as tech compounds are better now......

Ask them.

Thanks Arthur. Im sure they would be reliable. I found a similar booster T50/21 mine is a T50/26 but I couldn't find parts, only a complete booster. I will have to try to contact them. but if there are any other suggestions for sources I'm all ears.

I have an tech article here somewhere for using the other booster.
The difference between the 24 and 26 was basically a spacer on the mounts . The 26 booster also had a check valve b/c that booster was for chassis w/front disc brakes , but I think the seals are the same .
I will see if I can find that info in my old library [ what's left of it ]
