Hi Guys, has anyone got any contacts for cheap probst parts I'm after a rubber seal for a slab lifter and I can't find it for less than a hundred quid which is causing me a bit of discomfort considering it's just a pissy wee bit of rubber.
Cheers.

o ring should be easy fix from any auto shop or we buy boxes of 1000's 0 rings in 50 sizes
same with rubber seal, might be able to find a gland manufacturer etc to do the probst for you

is that the seal between the slab and the base plate?,if so they are a made to fit item from probst, sponge bottom half then a rubber section to connect the seal nothing else will work as the sponge contours the slab and the rubber makes the air seal

yes that's the one msh. Giles it's unlikely that anyone else could make it and if they could I wouldn't use it incase the seal broke and a flag fell on your foot.
