Engine Oil Seal
In the last issue of the RADSHELL I spoke about replacement solid steel pulleys. A natural item to compliment that pulley is the one-piece 360deg front seal. It is a direct fit ie no specialty machine work required. It is a major improvement and easy to remember when you say "Mope to Rope". It is a steel body encased in neoprene with the modern type sealing lip and inner retension spring. It was brought to market by a West Coast hobbyist by the name of Terry Burtz. He undertook the project and, we believe, had the manufacturing done be a major seal supplier originally (hint, hint) or maybe still from Chicago.
They are available from most major suppliers ie Snyders, Brattons or Mac's, some smaller distributors or from Terry directly in lots of twenty five. This writer has a few left on hand if anyone is interested.
Till the next time, keep the shiny side up!
