Warning: 73 z1 used a rubber sleeve, no longer available.

The tap levers shown are the early 73 type without the later added O ring and leak badly.The replacement seal is the part also needed on a tap rebuild but are hard to come by.The later levers c/w 'O' ring are available on ebay.

You need the replacement seal for the rebuild to be successful.

The only seal I have not replaced is the rubber sleeve that slides on to the lever, is this the one that needs replacing , thanks for the input by the way

[wilsonsjw11]

The seal you have described is the item required,if you get one apply red rubber grease when rebuilding the tap and on yearly basis to keep it soft and pliable.

[marmck]

Is this what you wanted

[wilsonsjw11]

That is the seal, the tap lever is new?
