Hi Richard, Thanks for the reply. I have wondered for years why there were no seals. I suspect that the original design was the have a seal, because as you say, the only change needed was to finish the housing. I guess it was an area that the demands of war considered unnecessary
I have seen quite a few housings and never seen one finished for a seal, until I spotted one for sale on Dirk Leegwater's site. Since then Michael R has posted the mod info, and a parts blow up from the Windsor Parts book.
Did you happen to do the one for the gearbox rear housing as well?
I think the bulk of carriers,(British or Canadian)were built with neither seal.
