Default Seals......

Hi Vic

Too bad you are so far away from Ottawa.

I have had very good luck dealing with an industrial bearing/seal outlet.... it seems that in 99% of the cases if you can give them inside and outside diameter of the seals they can trace them down using the search engine on computers.

Do not expect the modern seals to be as heavy duty made os the old ones..... but I would wager that the neopren seals of today are superior to the old leather ones.... even NOS old seals may be too dried up and could not be made pliable again. I beleive that Dirk may have original seals wrapped air tight and they may have survived better.

If you can ID the exact seals yo are looking for I may be able to give you the make and number of a modern counter part. I am rebuilding a C15a with a two speed t-case....again ALL modern bearings and seals were obtained by meauring and shopping by size..... amazing how many Ford parts found there way on a poor little Chebby truck.

Let me know if I can help.

Bob
