  6 swollen seals with lettering 2 OK without lettering.jpg - The trunion seals (far right) were fine. I had a mix of seals from Moss when I restored the car. In 2004 Barney Gaylord on his MGA site reported the trunion seals were "DuPont Neoprene rubber, and they are all marked "ACG4030 LIFETIME". He also reported that the pin seals "some are plain (no marking on them at all) and some have the text "RN-0994" molded into the outside surface" and the failed seals had the markings. On the left are six seals with the markings and two without. The two without were fine although they were all slightly 'loose' when I installed them.
