Bartamos ,
I agree with you about 98% on old nos rubber parts .
You need to be highly selective when buying those old rubber parts .
I've only purchased what I consider to be near perfect survivor's .
I have ( 4 ) of these old old rod seals , I'm still on the first one.
The one's that I have stashed have all been massaged thoroughly with silicone rubber protective spray
and are in vacuum packed sealed bags for future use .
My truck has ( 0 ) zero made in china stuff / offshore parts .
I own a Chevrolet not a chinamobile .
