This lid is a modern, better than original replacement lid for the A-R12 lid.  This lid is made from High Density Acrylic.  Factory original lids are made from HDPE plastic, while good for strength, it has a very poor resistance to abrasion.  As you may well know, these lids may wear thin after only a few tumblings, causing leaks.

The acrylic replacement lid here is far Superior to factory original, in both  strength and abrasion resistance. The physical property comparison of the two materials are as 

follows:

                           ACRYLIC     HDPE

Density              1.18g/cc      .96g/cc

Hardness,

(Rockwell R)       110              50

Tensile Strength  8000psi     3200psi

These lids are over Twice as strong as original lids.

This lid will replaces both old and new style lids, and will fit perfectly.

The retainer ring is also far superior to original.  The included ring is made from 301 stainless steel, as is the screw drive mechanism.  The ring will not rust, corrode or bind like the original could.
