Won't this do it, Terry?

"Type 905 labyrinth seals are durable bushing type seals designed to minimize leakage of gases by using a closely controlled clearance between the floating labyrinth ring and a rotating shaft. The labyrinth seals temperature ranges are exceptionally wide since no elastomers are used. Their design also features a unique stabilizer ring with fins which minimize stress on the carbon ring, thereby maintaining roundness of the labyrinth ring assembly. Dimensional tolerance of the critical inside diameter of the brushing ring is tightly controlled to minimize leakage variations."
