Webley Tempest seal

[auora5000]

I think I am on the right section for this (Webleys now collectable?). has anyone got a spare piston seal that they can sell me, or point me in the right direction to buy a new one?
Stripped the pistol down and the original has a crack in it. ( i dont seem to be having much luck with my pistols lately, (ive only got 2 and the other one is not well)

Any assistance appreciated thanks.

In case you don't have any luck with someone having a spare.

When you say a crack, do you mean a cut across it. If so, then this is there so that the PTFE seal can be fitted and does not effect the sealing properties of the piston head. Unlike the PTFE heads on premiers Mk1's which are held on with a screw

Hi john,

Thanks for the info mate, it sure looks like a crack, but i am more than happy to leave well alone if you say it has to be there in order to fit it. Are they all made with a slit across them?

normal......if you buy a new one its got a split in too. grease and put it back.
