I have decided to post this here rather than a pm to PT58 and KFH as it may concern other members.The following is part of am email I received from David Ryan of Rare Spares.
"With respect to the forum posts re the front suspension pivot seals perishing prematurely, I have done some checking and most certainly we did have a problem batch back 2-3 years or so ago when our supplier took it upon themselves to change the rubber compound without consulting us.
All was rectified at the time but some obviously suspect seals did escape into circulation.
If you wouldn't mind could you please put a post up on the FE-FC forum to that effect and ask all who have faulty seals to contact me direct for replacements"
