Default Well I cheated........

....and got 2 sets from Dirk at LWD...... with the springs all packed in a nice GM wrapper.

Odd expereince...... a commercial gasket maker in Ottawa had the felt and could cut it to size with a fast rotating saw blade device....... But would not sell to me as I was not a commercial user...... no amount of cash could make him change his mind........ not sure if he moved but the building is now empty.

Grant just fabricated his own felt oil seals for the CMP trialer he is restoring....white felt......worked nice and served as a wipe seal against the axle shaft....seal is unique to the trialer...... Grant may chime in.....

No :TRIALER" IS NOT A TYPO...... that is how the guy at the weight scale spelled it.......
