You're way more patient than I am. I thought they would be readily available by now. Just a good thing I don't have any projects going at the moment. Please keep us posted.

I remember seeing this seal and wanting to try it.  Haven't yet. A little pricey, but might be worth a shot.

I have ordered four of these seals. Thus far, they have not come. I think I have waited about a year. I am being patient because this would be a game changer.

I'm wondering how you have waited about a year when they just announced it last November and they said it would probably be around March. Have you tried calling them to get a time line for when it will be available?

I've never gone as much as 1/3. I usually offset it about 1/2" and use Ultra black RTV on the joint. I find myself second guessing the lube on the crank. You want enough that the RTV doesn't stick to the crank and the seal is lubed at start up, but not so much that it affects the RTV.

I'm pretty anal about oil leaks if you haven't guessed.

If your booster is nice on the outside (no rust pits) you may want to confirm that they are rebuilding what you send and not an exchange where you may get one of lesser quality back.

Thanks, I'll be exceptionally vigilant if the master cylinder does not fix the issue and I need to send the booster out for restoration.
