Rosanno,
Jon Norman fixed me up with a rebuild kit for my tandem MC. I takes two kits from other single cylinders. They are very knoledeable and have good inventory.

Long story short, two parts are on order from Porsche. Hopefully one of them will be the correct seal.
The above pictured M/C BTW was fitted to the 68-73 911/912 and the 70-72 914-6.

The part numbers are for two separate individual parts. I don't know if these are Porsche part numbers or those of the vendor. But I think it's worth a try making a call or two.

Rossano,
Have you tried Mantis Automobile in Oakville? They are primarily a Porsche shop but do work on Alfas once in a while.

The Final word...
Some of you may remember that a few years ago I contacted Ate to get some technical information on the 1969 dual circuit master cylinder. Remembering their willingness to help, I contacted the Sales Manager of Ate in the US. I inquired about seals for the DPW. The Sales Manager forwarded my request to Germany and got the following response:
Actually, the master cylinder was taken out of the ATE program in summer 2007. Unfortunately, there are no replacement seals or any rebuild kit for this brake master cylinder. However, we will give Brian the possibility to purchase one single master cylinder. This cylinder will be build only for him at our sub contractor. The price will be around 250 Euro plus shipping, duty etc. If he is interested, he should order the following
Part Number: 03-3525-0301-3 (see picture attached)
This is not exactly the answer I was hoping for, but it is rather interesting that they would volunteer to make me a new one. This is not the first time that they have offered. So, I am wondering if subcontractor has access to all of the molds, etc necessary to build ne brake components for our cars.
I plan to follow up with the contact and see what he can do to help us.
