Curtis will not sell the seals. They know that about the time the seal goes
the riveted retainer pops off and lets everything drain out. You can buy
the D-seals in 100 lots at $3.75 each or $375 but not from Curtis.

You can replace it with new for less than $15 You can get a steel quick
drain for the same money that has a replaceable o-ring seal and there is no
brass to work harden and crack off.
