While checking float level settings, I have buggered two of the three accelerator pump plunger seals. Who makes a good one that is also not a PIA to install? Alcohol resistant a must.

I have found the absolute original NOS pumps with the tan leather seemed to swell
less. When you get them from Max you will notice the leather is held to form in a clear plastic
tube, I save those tubes to reuse in situations you have encountered.

Thanks for the advice. Stromberg parts are on their way. I have been trying to install the carb tops with the accelerator pump attached to the lever, which means trying to work the plunger into the hole with the top partially blocking access. From now on, the plunger goes in, and then the top goes on.
