WANTED 2279985 or 3879919 Power steering seal kit. Marty?

Im looking for the o-ring kit for the power steering valve on my 67 newport. I Think Marty might have them...found them on ebay, but cannot see $50 for 3 o-rings.

I think we all already know this, but I just want to remind "us" that o-rings are rarely [if ever] "Old Mopar specific". Your local hardware store and better auto parts stores have dozens of o-ring sizes for nickels and dimes. You'd want an oil resistant material, of course, such as Buna-N (Nitrile) or Viton, but not neoprene. If you took the valve with you, a proper fit could easily be found, I think. Or maybe somebody could measure the two key dimensions for ya.

I have a ton of o-rings. One big kit with hundreds....but no clue what they are made of offhand. I guess I will look. I just didn't want to mess around with the steering parts and not know what would be suitable for the application.

 

[Trace 300 Hurst]

Any reason to assume your big kit is automotive in nature? And why wouldn't it be? If so, I'm 99.999% sure those seals are Nitrile or Viton, either of which are totally compatible with any automotive fluid EXCEPT brake fluid.

Or, use your kit to size the needed rings, then go somewhere to buy those sizes in a known material.

Then post your findings for everyone else!
