i dont think this will work as firstly the sphere seals against the face of the seal and not the inner surface,c.morewood wrote:So nobody has tried this yet?
Do the washers need to be of a special material to resist LHM?
If indeed they make a Dowty washer that is of the correct size, this could be a very cheap answer to the failing rear cylinders problem.
so yes the rim of the cylinder is just there to keep the seal in place,
secondly the seal is holding around 2.600 psi so IMO i dowty the dowty washer will help seal the sphere
