Felt Washer I/D

[Bob Carriere]

.... there is such a felt seal in the pinion of the rear axle....mine was sent to me by a chap in the UK...made of white felt....... and I sure was grateful but can't remember his name...... did save my bacon as my rear axle really needed one.

Custom gasket shop in Ottawa refused to cut me one for my lack of a garage or technician license..... I tried using sharpened section of exhaust pipe and the hydraulic press.... no success....... the cutting edge of the pipe would need to rotate to slice the felt fiber....luckily the felt washer arrived in time.

In the early parts manual the felt is not shown....but in the 1945 C15a parts book it is referred #5.469 to as "packing, pinion flange seal...... no dimensions are shown.....#1804415 and later 1810647......

Cheers
