Reference: C8A HUP grease seals

[Malcolm Towrie]

I am involved in restoring a HUP and I found this thread which I think answers one of of our questions: we have pulled the outer ends of the front axle to replace the three seals and found the axle oil seals measure at 3.060" od by 1.490" id, which I asume is a nominal 3 1/16" od by 1 1/2 id seal. This size is unobtainable now, so, if I understand Bob's post, we need to machine a ring to press into the the axle housing to reduce the size of the seal od to something obtainable?

We can reuse the grease seal that seals the egg cup, it's not in bad shape, but the large grease seal stopping grease from the hub bearings getting into the drums is shot. Are these obtainable? Or is sleeving also required?
