Re: [DML] Shrinkage? (ahem)

/Is there a source for a new or alternate part?/  

Funny you should ask. 
The cover seals we sell are new.  I don't think NOS seals have been available for a long time.  They weren't very good.  They would shrink and harden and crack when exposed to heat and gasoline fumes.  The new ones are still made of a plastic dip material that can contract and stiffen when subjected to heat, but the effect is much less.  Better living through chemistry.
