Question seal needed update

Hi Lynne, thanks for the reply. seal BB-1175-C is the inner axle seal keeping oil/grease seperate on page 4, illustration no.1, of FUC-o3 manual . I need the pinion seal keeping oil in the rear end, page 14, illustration no.3, they call it the gear box coupling. This is from Fuc-o3 manual for canadian MK1* carriers.Any leads on this one?

You will likely have to just find a seal with the proper shaft diameter and have a collar lathed up to accept the seal and fit into the bore. However, it seems to me that seal was omitted in later production, and the oil allowed to pass by. I have also seen the seal omitted in the rear of the transmission case. Perhaps the two were allowed to share the oil and find their own levels. It would make the sealing of the transmission to the pinion more important though. I went with RTV between the flanges rather than the wrap around leather gasket in that location.

I was only having a guess as I dont have that book.
I think the MkI* never had a seal between the diff adapter and the gearbox, only the leather gaiter on the outside. Dirk L. has shown an adaper housing that was machined to take a seal. I believe it is from a MkII*

This seal on the pinion coupling is an odd size and I am currently awaiting one being specially made as original. Recently had other seals made for various 70 year old military vehicles, where the sizes were peculiar to that application and no longer available. This is in the UK, I would imagine there are companies in US or Canada doing similar work. Not that expensive either, if I had gone down the road of finding a seal with correct shaft size and machining an adaptor ring, there would not have been much difference.
