cable
Lucky for me I had the remains of the original cable ..I took it down to Col Bradford , the Chev parts dealer in Cheltenham, he's gone now . He found 2 NOS ones exactly the same ..he said they are from a late 30's chev ute ... dont know what model .
I was looking for the axle hub seals ..he looked up is old FLASEAL book, and I was knocked over ..In the Chev listing in the book was listed : C8 Canadian army truck . FLASEAL were a old Melbourne company , they made oil seals for years . He ended up selling me some NASCO brand seals ..NASCO was the GMH owned parts company .
I found the C8 rear hub seals at AAA vintage auto seals in Rooks road, Mitcham ..they were FLASEAL brand , in old yellow boxes . The king pin kit came from Power Train ( Keith's old workplace , and another business now gone I believe ) ..but moved and run by Keith Downey.
I just found the original boxes for the seals
FLA-SEAL 11183 , on the box it reads : manufactured by A.FLAVELL PTY LTD Melbourne Australia
NASCO 592441 ... this is the C8 front hub seal I think ..
these are old felt and leather seals ... these days ..I would go for modern neoprene seals if available in the correct dimensions.
