NOT
ALL SEALS ARE ALIKE!
As
you know, almost every American automobile parts
manufacturer is now sourcing the bulk of their
product line overseas. Many US companies have
sold their names to foreign interests. There is
now a new company in India called Moog - they
didn't bother to buy the US company; they just
used their name.
This
isn’t just a migration of jobs, it’s
an evacuation of our manufacturing sector. They
have left the building. You can no longer assume
the country of origin, even with names like Moog®
and Raybestos® and Wagner®.
This
rush to save a buck has impacted our little corner
of the world. Unless you buy from us, virtually
every other brake caliper seal you can buy for
your C2 / C3 Corvette is made overseas, but that
is not the problem. The problem is that the overseas
seals don’t work. The original seal GM designed
for these pistons was unique in that it had two
sealing surfaces. Calipers didn’t leak.
Now they do, and the same people who are selling
the junk seals are touting O-ring pistons to ‘solve
the problem’.
The
large national caliper rebuilders are using these
cheap seals, with predictable results. We are
not. We still use the original design seals, and
we will never switch.

DON'T LEAK!
