I have a 1964 Sigurd Stenhoj 15 ton shop press that was used in VW dealer repair shops. I'm looking to rebuild the unit as it has some leaks and will not come up to pressure. I was told that this unit used VW seals of various types. I have a old spare parts kit, but I'm not sure if it's complete, and the condition of the seals. The Box is marked PF19-6. I'd like to find out more info on this item and maybe find the part numbers I need.

This is the unit that has 2 petals and bot have original VW foot petal rubber on them. I'll try to attach a picture of what I have, the data plate at least.

Thanks
Jason

These two items were in the kit as well, are they found on a 1960s vintage VW, if so, what part?

Thanks again!!!

Those look like leather cup seals. Check McMaster Carr or I have even seen them at some of the better stocked Ace hardware stores. Old camp stoves used a similar seal to pressurize the fuel tank. I have seen people make them as well.
