The key thing was that the metal imbedded in the portion that grips the top was non-ferrous. The old/original seal had rusted inside and swelled and generally looked bad. Another difference with the replacement I used was that the sealing portion was sort of a tube (in cross section) rather than solid soft rubber. Can't comment on what the BB have but whatever you go with I would recommend it be the non-rusting kind. Geo Hahn 84 Westy Mt Lemmon, AZ |
