Where does one buy Viton? Bob

I've been buying it from WELTON RUBBER in Madison Heights Michigan for
the last twenty five years

That would be me, Fred. I don't recall if I had any left, but I could
probably round up the dies and make some more. I was making them out of
Viton (among other things) and found that the trick to getting them to
last is to control the amount of spring pressure that the petcock exerts
on the gasket. Too much pressure and the gaskets get crushed. Anyway, if
you want to try a couple let me know (via E-mail) and I'll send you
some.

 Somebody on the list (I think) made up some of these. There are two
different sizes, one for the aluminum sugar cubes and one for the
chromed brass sugar cubes. I have a pair of both, and would prefer to
use the chromed brass ones as they're prettier. Mark at MG Classics had

some of the gaskets but is out. Anyone know where they came from?
