Hi everybody

Does anyone know where I can get Propshaft seals for the sliding portions of the front and rear shaft. I have tried John at Midwest he has none, and, a couple of other places have not replyed to my mails at this time.

Part No.s required are.
Seal=8333061

Any help would be appreciated.

Happy Easter

Regards

Nic

I ended up making my own out of cork sheet, since that was the material I pulled out during disassembly. I didn't have any stock in the 1/4" thickness range, so I carefully cut several layers and stacked them, offsetting the splits during assembly. I just traced the metal backing ring that goes between the cork and the screw-on piece and cut them out with a sharp hobby knife. The fit seems to be pretty good and any imperfections in one layer will be offset by the next.

Disclaimer: I haven't actually put grease in there yet. I'm still working on assembly of other chassis parts.

Walcks4wd.com has it I think. It is called Felt Seal Yoke Sleeve Drive Shaft.

I think I used some rope gasket material with grease on mine.
