      <content:encoded><![CDATA[We are looking for a source of replacement brake seals for what we believe is a class 20 brake cylinder. It is approx 8” in diameter. <br />
<br />
Other Dimensions:<br />
ID 5¼&quot;<br />
Depth ¾&quot;<br />
Thickness 3/16&quot;<br />
Outside of location notches 5⅝&quot;<br />
<br />
It&#039;s marked with C 72916/10<br />
<br />

<br />
It is not fitted to a class 20 so we can not be 100% sure of its origin. <br />
<br />
Thanks.]]></content:encoded>

Notice of the AGM (28 March in Derby) has just been issued, together with various reports. It is clear that the engineering team has done a lot of planning for how a convincing recreation of 10000 can be built using some major parts...<br />
