[V8] Brake accumulator needed for replacement

[Kneale Brownson]

I'd buy from someone likely to have a turnover in bombs.  I don't think
they age well on the shelf.  I think the inert gas that gets compressed to
store up braking pressure migrates through its diaphragm over time.  That's
why they go bad.  I suspect if you find one that's been stored for some
time (like the "bargain" that's been on ebay recently because the seller
bought a bunch of new old stock from some closed parts place), you may be
getting one with a short life.  I've purchased from Parts Connection.
