Hi Terry,
As you've already found, the additional seal was deleted for later
production of what is essentially the same cylinder. The same thing happened
with the Herald cylinder. In this case, modern Girling rebuild kits omit the
additional seal, whereas the Girling India kit includes all seals. It is
possible that the same is true of the TR3A kit. According to my records the kit
number should be SP1967. Girling India rebuild kits are readily available in
the UK under the County brand name, sorry I don't have an SP1967 kit on the
shelf to check for you,
Cheers,
Bill.
