Yes - IMO the O ring version one is much more durable. BTW it is slightly
larger diameter too so you have to replace the accumulator and piston as a
set. Every older OD that I have seen has scored accumulator and pistons ...
Also good idea to replace the main pressure spring as well if you are deep
into it. This will probably up the pressure too.
I get all my OD bits from OD Spares in Rugby UK =3D knowledgeable and helpf=

I have the DWM 'uprated' accumulator set; the housing has an O-=
ring
and the piston has four equally-sized metal rings. Don't recall any
others, but don't think it was any different than the OEM one I too=
k
out.<br>
<br>
Too late now, but had I known of it I might have bought the AH
Spares version with O-ring(s?) on the piston instead of metal rings.
The metal rings will score the accumulator bore eventually.<br>
