Abbey Seals had exactly what I needed this morning, I replaced the two seals & scraper at the top of the rams & also the inner gland and packers in one of the rams. About €40 plus vat for the lot.When buying seals, don’t buy a kit for the ram. All you need is the main seal and the scraper for the outside. A seal kit could be €40 whereas just what you need is about €10, all the other bits are plastic packing and spacers which should be fine. Inner glands should be fine if the rams aren’t creeping during use. A good hydraulics shop will just give you what you need anyway.
Then bared the paint work down with grinder wire brush and primed them for the final green coat.
Not too many would bother going to the trouble I suppose.
Burnside rams were a pleasure to work on compared to some others I’ve seen in the past.
