Dimensions: It would be helpful to have the metalwork sizes available when you get in touch, leather seals often swell in oil, therefore the metalwork will give the true size of the seals you require.
Despite 100 years of technological advancesno one has developed a synthetic material that has the attributes of leather. Leather is tough, pliable, and wear resistant, unaffected by cold, enabling it to withstand high pressure at low temperature.
Leather seals, such as cups, flanges and u-packings take on the shape they need in order to seal. If you've got a little bit of wear, or you're a bit out of true, leather is going to fill the voids whereas the rubber or plastic cannot. They just are not flexible enough.
Before fitment of leather seals a little preparation will help get the best results.
