Where did you source the oil seal for the sector shaft? I'm sure mine needs to be replaced.

I ended up getting a cork seal from another restorer. He had 10 of them made. SKF has a suitable seal if you dont want to use the original cork and retainer.Farrell Fox wrote: ↑Tue Nov 26, 2019 2:08 pm Where did you source the oil seal for the sector shaft? I'm sure mine needs to be replaced.
