1930 DC 8: source for rear axle oil and grease seals

Hello Everyone,

I have diff oil in the brake drum mounting tapers both sides.

Is there a source of the rear axle seals?

For what it is worth, the factory part number for the inner seals is 43049, a steel-felt originally. The outer is 43053, a steel-leather originally. According to the 1940 FeltPro catalogue, the inner is 1 7/32" ID, 2.322" OD, 13/32" thick. The outer is more difficult because the brake drum hub it seals against is tapered and it is a bolt-on job.

One shop I went to said I could buy sheet felt and make a new felt sleeve for the inner. Maybe - but how to make the join?

Even the size for the inner is not listed in the catalogue we looked in.

Thanks for any ideas anyone may have.

Regards

Graham

There is a seal Company I deal with in Melbourne, and they have supplied most of the the bearings and seals for my DC, with the exception of one bearing cone in the steering box, which I had to have made up , as they said they had the last one in the world, and I needed TWO.. they are "The AA bearing Company"

(contact@aabearings.com.au)

I know they definetly had the axle grease seals ,but I don't know about the inner oil seals , as I know I searched for many years for them, and a set popped up on Ebay one day, maybe worth a try
