i'm not really bothered about $30, wouldn't be botherd if it was $60 or $130, just want to get some seals. I don't know how much they are as Bluewing are shut and none of the bike shops i have tried knows or are even willing to give me an estimate.
i was thinking of using condom ends.....

Pretty well par of the course this time of year - the car parts suppliers are onto it much better than any bike shop,but they are all on skeleton crews,so are the main warehouses and couriers.I hate working this time of year because all you get is customers bleating about lack of service,everyones hands are tied.It just happens this time of year - Xmas and New Year aside,it's two 4 day weekends in a row no matter how you look at it.Just enjoy your holiday break and know that next week it will all be back to normal....a once a year hiccup to enjoy for the lack of pressure...or you can make a problem out of it.

yeah fully, I buy and supply car parts all day, just got back to work today and the car parts guys are still on to it. I just wanted to be able to work on my bike on the days off, i could work on it but i couldn't replace anything unless it was available from Repco or Placemakers

I had a worrisome Xmas Eve - two cars on the hook late friday afternoon,I diagnosed them friday night,and saturday morining all the trade suppliers were shut down.I had to grit my teeth and stoop to Repco,had to go to the branch myself to pick them up....but two happy customers Xmas Eve.It's a bad time of year to be in a service trade,everyone wants,wants,wants,no please,no thank you....

good job mate, it almost feels like cheating when you have to go to Repco, but sometimes theres no other option, you feel glad that they work supermarket hours almost.
i bet santa saw that you were being a good boy and bought you lots of Jim Beam.....

Schrodoco could probably supply from stock, but you'd have to check to be sure. Post some pics of the pistons, depending on where the damage is you might be ok (the last 2-3mm of the piston is where the dust seal sits, so that would probably be fine).
