commander Dave Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Fussed a bit with the water pump packing and think the new is a bit to big; checked against the old that I removed and have taken into account the old was compressed ,but still looks like the new is a bit to big. New stuff is1/8th but where can I find more new stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linus Tremaine Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 eBay or any model t supplier such as langs or snyders will have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linus Tremaine Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 If you’re after a weird diameter beyond what those sources offer you’ll likely have to buy an old roll somewhere. I have seen two or maybe three different sizes of old original packing but I would wager that all the new stuff you can currently get is the same size as what you have. . I could be wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stude Light Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Restoration Supply is another option. That is what I used on my Light Six packing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
commander Dave Posted January 15 Author Share Posted January 15 Should have realized earlier, but there's a bit easier access to everything after removing the coil and plate holding it. Tired again but still pretty much. have the same results Will try once more now that it's a little easier to do, but will have to wait because the high temp. here today is 23 with a low tonight of 5 tonight. Not as cold as some of you though, but this is North Alabama and the garage is not heated. I've e- mailed Rick Peterson about a shaft in case I need it, but his e- mail keeps getting kicked back. Any other source for s shaft? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
commander Dave Posted January 16 Author Share Posted January 16 Stude Light; Do you have any contact info for Restoration Supply? It wouldn't hurt for me to try 1 size smaller packing rope before getting another shaft. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Dave, I have some loosely entwined packing which can be peeled apart into individual strands of perhaps 1/16" (WAG off the top of my head). If you PM me your address, I'll be happy to send you some, free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
