Wanted: Morris Commercial C8 GS Front axle swivel seals Needed,

[svdwal]

Hi Phil.

I am looking for the actual seals, the rings are in good order so no need to replace them.

All info on replacements or substitutes are welcome, so if you have some pictures I would be happy.
From what i understand is that this kind of seal is rare, so probably i will be forced to make an alternative.

Thanks,

Sjoerd

Hi

The seals will always leak if the hemisphere surface is pitted . I have seen this problem before and you can fix the problem if you have the hemisphere chrome plated , this will make a smooth surface for the seal . I think Dodges used felt seals , not leather . Maybe you can use some felt and make the seals yourself. Good luck Mike

Thanks Mike,

The surface is not really pitted, it is in a quit nice condition.
I think the seals are just worn after the truck sat still for almost 30 years and now being used again.

I filled the hubs with SAE 250 (also known as 600W) oil, leakage has stopped :-)

Thanks.
