Re: F24 oleo packing?

'Does anyone have a source for the packing in the main landing gear oleo struts? One of my struts was leaking badly, and upon examination the packing is in poor condition. If a replacement isnt available for the original (Linear R-304), is there a modern equivalent or modification available? What have people done about this? I see that this question had been asked previously, but no answers seem to be archived.

Thanks.

send me the inside and outside diameters of your oleo seals plus the height of them when together as 1-2-1 then I will call Gerry and get you a price as they are not on email or you can phone him directly. They can also supply the Viton o-rings for the cylinder base as we just bought 7 4-3/4 x 1/8th . If you have access to Hercules Hydraulic Supplies [a big chain down in the USA ] anywhere near to you they should be
able to help you but if not then Wriasons certainly can. For that matter any good Hydraulic shop could, if they wanted but we find most can not be bothered. Get back to me if I can help. Regards Bruce ROBERT COON wrote:

'Bruce and Bob,

I also have a 24-K and I am interested in what you find out -- both in
size and cost. I currently have a Teflon packing material in mine. It
seems to work (holds DOT-5 silicone) but may be interested in purchasing a
new material, just in case.

Please post your results to this list. Thanks.

'Bob & Ileen Waldron,- We use motorcycle shock oil, medium grade and it works
just fine. I expect to hear from Bob what the size of the seals are on the 24-K
and then I would e-mail the information back to him as promised. Bruce
