We have examined the oil seals you have sent us which you suggest should be used as an alternative to those manufactured by Super Seals Ltd. We are not satisfied with the appearance of the leather or the external finish. The cost of testing these will be out of all proportion to any financial advantage gained. By.{R.W.
