Hi Bob,
I recently had the TR4A motor in my Plus 4 completely rebuilt and used one
of those sets of seals available from RACETRONICS in UK. Comes complete with
full instructions and seems to work very well. No longer able to "cast my
boundary" as the saying goes. Cost about 43pounds plus freight. Great
service too. Have no experience with the second problem you mention.
RACETRONICS fax (UK) 00 441 427 810 593
Best regards and Happy Morganeering from New Zealand
