LS8 ballast system plug spare part
Hi everyone,
I am looking for the LS8 ballast system plug rubber ring that seal the plug when ballasting LS8s. This rubber ring expands in the wing hole when teflon crown is "screwed". Does anyone know when to find this except from DG and their service contract ? All the best for 2021, Denis |

All the best for 2021, Denis I know I lost one when I owned an LS8 and I replaced it with an off-the-shelf piece from an industrial supply house. I can't imagine it is a custom-made part. I just took the dimensions (inner diameter, outer diameter, thickness) and started googling. This is probably 10 years ago or more, and I can't find the order right now, but I'll post here if I do. |

All the best for 2021, Denis Just for one example: https://www.mcmaster.com/rubber-gask...-pipe-gaskets/ I'm sure metric equivalents are out there. The other simple option is to buy some rubber gasket material (sheet) and cut your own. |
