RichBad Posted May 29, 2020 Author Share Posted May 29, 2020 I don’t think there’s a direct modern replacement to the original felt inner seals (two felt seals inside pressed steel housings). I turned up a couple of adaptors in aluminium which sit inside the original steel housings but take a modern neoprene seal. I can’t find the seal part numbers but according to my notes they were 1.43 x 2.06 x 0.31. as Matt said, the outer seals also need the housing (and hub) to be machined if you want to use modern seals - mine were 1.975 x 3 x 0.375. if you do go with modern inner seals you probably need to add a breather. cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattml430 Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 The outer seal came in yesterday and I’m going to machine the outer bearing carrier today to make it fit. outer seal I’m using is F6252 -33-72-10 this one needs the carrier to be machined. Inner seal I used but a bit tight is 1.437- 2.327. I like the sound of Rich’s idea better. Thanks for reminding me about the breather to Rich I forgot all about doing that. Where did you run yours from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichBad Posted May 30, 2020 Author Share Posted May 30, 2020 I just added a 1/8 hole to one of the rear cover bolts - top right (viewed from rear) I think. That’s what Bob recommended - I thought it may get a little oil seepage and if it did I was going to add a tube but hasn’t seen a drop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichBad Posted May 30, 2020 Author Share Posted May 30, 2020 Actually I used a 4mm hole (to allow a small tube to be soldered inside if needed). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
