Not trying to get into a pissing match but Are you saying the ones I listed are cheap.
National and Chicago rawhide are 2 of the oldest seal manufactures in the world.
Original seals had leather sealing lip,good but not as good as Nitrile or Polyacrylate.
The reason I posted them was ,Why would you put a 50+ year old seal in there,Would you use 50 year old gas or oil in it to.
You can go to your local parts store to buy or buy on the on line.
Yes there are cheap seals out there, They say CHINA on them.

We agree 100%. Sorry if I wasn't clear. My point was that I stock NOS and new "name brand" seals. I am a National Seal distributor and often hear the "yeah but I got the "same" seal for two dollars from .....

Kevin
Your prices are a good deal, even with shipping they would cost about the same if you bought them at a parts store.
