Thanks Euan, That's just teasing
 But yes, I must have missed this picture it in the spare parts cattle dog (or it's on page 13, which I still don't have!). It does confirm that my seals are out of original specification as they measure over 2" in external dia. From Andrew and Lynn's posts the sealing comes from them being squashed laterally. Given the material, I'm guessing that this 'squeeze' will be minimal so the thickness is what I need to work out. I've now just got to find a company to cut them.

Euan, if you do open the box,you will probably be disappointed (that is, if you wanted to use them) To look at, they will be fine. I have tried to soften them, with no joy.
Check out the thread I started post #2, "Carrier Soft Parts" It relates to riveted carriers, but I am guessing the Shafts, Collars, Bushes, and Seals would inter change across to the Aust. Carrier. If I recall, the Aust. seal does not have the internal lip or the external scallop, but looks rather like it is wound from a thin strip of flat rubber.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas......
Wiring is not my strong point so it has been with some relief that I have got the dash installed and that all the lights, horn and starter solenoid seem to be working.
Now just waiting on diff, engine and suspension parts to progress. Thanks to Euan for the horn button. An original Spartan horn that has been sitting on the shelf for over 6 years looks the part and even makes some sound
