Chandler water pump packing

Hello all,

Dad (Harold Wintz) is looking for information about packing material for the water pump on his 1914 Chandler 15 touring. Has anyone used the Teflon packing? It was suggested by someone in Florida, but we can't find it here in Iowa. Whatever suggestions or ideas anyone has would be welcome.

from Harold's daughter, Marie

The old style packing (graphite with 3 strands twisted together) doesn't seem to last anymore. I'm looking for the Teflon packing in 3/16ths diameter or 1/8th inch. None of the places around here that I have called seems to know anything about the Teflon packing. I can't use the kind that is square.

Dad has looked at the McMaster catalog and called and talked to them. They don't have what he is looking for.

He says he's still playing around, so he doesn't know how much he might want to have. Let us know here when you find something that might work, and we'll figure out a way to talk. We check the forum when I'm at Dad's house, so he can see what is on the posts. - about every two weeks or so -

Thank you!
