Title: Diff oil seal
Post by: kev131 on May 22, 2012, 04:58:27 PM
Anyone know where a dif oil seal can be found - Belongs right at the front of the diff where it meets the propshaft. Have a slight leak on the 1600 Super.

While on the subject of seals/gaskets, has anyone tried these kits and this seller?

Looks good value...wonder about the quality at this price.

If you get the size (should be on the old seal or someone here will give it to you) get a nitrile seal from http://simplybearings.co.uk (http://simplybearings.co.uk).

Just checked diff and original seal is,

Bore 35.8
Diameter 68
width 10

Would of thought the seal listed will do the job.

This forum is a must for non mechanically trained owners.

Thanks for the multiple offers of help either by text or PMs as well as directly on the forum. I now have 2 on order from Germany and I'll check the measurements against what you've said Bobby.  :)
