which gasket for Silca 40.0 locking pump head

Can anyone supply me with a part number for a replacement rubber gasket
for the 40.0 locking pump head? The Silca site says that it's part #
323.1, but that doesn't seem right since that's a gasket for a reversable
pump and the 40.0 head is presta only.

It is, also fits Campagnolo 1030 heads.
The old 323 presta only seal was (theoretically) reversible
when worn. The current 323.1 has a PV end and an SV end.

Andy Muzi is correct, here''s the correct part:

Btw, how do you like the 40.0 pump head? I was looking at it, but
heard it wasn't that good. Interestingly, Silca has supposedly
"upgraded" the locking mechanism on newer and also sells it now in
both aluminum and brass. Good Luck!

Federal law; brass alloys are highly regulated due to a
minuscule lead content. New will be aluminum from here on.

Thanks. Brass supposedly causes cancer and other things like brass
hose nozzles are also being phased out.

But how well does the Silca 40.0 pump head work? Does it work any near
as well as the fancier and pricer Hirame pump head:

Good Luck!

I like it OK. My push-on Silca head would sometimes leak if the tubing
flopped it over to one side. I'd be curious to see how Silca improved the
locking mechanism -- I have one of the old ones, and the locking lever
has 180 degrees of motion, when all you really need (or want) is 90
degrees. They should also add a pressure-release valve to make it easier
to remove from the stem. I still sometimes lust after a hirame pump head,
but for the price, the silca 40.0 is an acceptable substitute.

Sheesh.
And we get bitching over 95 cents for a valve adapter.
