I just make my own
I just make my own shaft seals and stuffing boxes from K and S tubbing and an asortment of automotive O rings,oilite bushings and precition ground stainless steel shafts.Even hydraulic masts are costom made this way.
Total cost for a ft about 6.00 bucks ,stuffingbox seals all ready to go with marine grease.
Make your own that way you learn how its made and save a buck to put into the next project.To this day I have never had my own shaft seal leak The same goes for servo rods,but I like bellows beter and those I cant make.
Thanks Dave

These things certainly aren't worth
These things certainly aren't worth the trouble to make, especially as they are a critical part of your cylinder. Screw it up and down you go!
Let D&E Miniatures do it, and order them here.
David is also gradually phasing out the 1/8" seals on all his Sub-drivers, to use 1/16". They have less drag, and can use smaller servos.
