    I Winfred,

    I am sitting in the hotel in Singapore now, just arrived here and will stay till Saturday. So I do not know when I can go online here again, as I have to travel here a lot.
    What would be interesting for me to know:

    The ATE part number of the set of replacement parts or the single items.

    And a contact address where I can buy them from USA. Email, contact person or an online source where I can find it.

    I cannot buy them in Japan and also in Germany one cannot buy these parts from ATE or any other source. They refuse to sell. I assume that has something to do with liability in these countries if something breaks on the car. But can I buy these parts in USA?

    Greeting from very warm and humid Singaore.
    I will look again on this posting when I can, latest when I am back to Japan. Thanks a lot

    That o-ring is a common failure item in E24/E28's, causing PS fluid leaks. I replaced mine over 3 years ago. The plastic insert and the metal (I think) washer survived the repair.The salvage yard may be your best source for the plastic part. O-ring is 38MM ID x 44MM OD. If you can't get it locally I can send them. http://www.normgrills.net/bcg/Brakes...l#anchor912711
