Engine felt seals- 1938 model R 51

Post by Philip Vergison »

My brother has a fully restored R51which suffers from an oil leak from the engine/gearbox joint. Where is the best source for replacement felt seals for the rear main and gearbox input shaft?
Thanks in advance.

Mark Huggett lists full gasket sets for the R51 engine and transmission as well as the individual filzring for the rear main seal. I don't know about the individual transmission input seal. I think it is a standard size that could be obtained from a bearing supply house.

Call him and find out for certain.

Best regards,

Bruce
