I'll make up the screws from some brass stock.
Another question:
I made up new leather seals as per the instructions on You Tube (posted by Austin Seven RP 1934) and would like to know if those in the know can tell me if the leather needs to be lubricated with anything?
I'm not getting a really good seal with the ones I made. I wonder if the leather thickness has something to do with it or do I need to lubricated the leather? Does the leather need to have the smooth surface outside contacting the cylinder wall or should the tanned and dyed side need to be the contact surface?
Any tricks you've used to make things work properly?
Than ks,
Stephen
