kelch7 Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29 Chandler Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 If you find out what size you need let me know. I have some NOS packing material that might fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelch7 Posted October 31, 2014 Author Share Posted October 31, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29 Chandler Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 I have some of the old style 1/4" round packing rope if that will work for you. Its the asbestos and graphite kind that you can not find anymore. If this will work for you I can send you some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelch7 Posted November 1, 2014 Author Share Posted November 1, 2014 Thanks Chris,However the 1/4" size is too big. Let me know if you run across any that is smaller.Harold (via Marie's computer) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kelch7 Posted November 2, 2014 Author Share Posted November 2, 2014 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
