Small oil seal in spedo wheel hub where cable fits

<< < (3/3)

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
The seal has arrived - it's the right one - also my replacement used worm drive hub - looks in good condition too - bought on e-bay from twowheelspares - this is the shop link. They accepted an offer £4 below asking price.https://www.ebay.co.uk/str/dkmotorcyclespares


My original unt had been painted with silver Hamerite paint - this replacement does not appear to have been painted - not sure what the factory orignal finish is - I'm tempted to just buff it up its so tidy.looking.https://simplybearings.co.uk/shop/advanced_search_result.php?search_in_description=1&keywords=4.8X15X4& , this was the right seal the lower of the ph0tos as per sye first link..

Have you removed the internals or is there no plastic inside?

I'm tempted to join the polishers group😊

Oddjob:
It's just a bare shell now Ted. Got it free off EBay, seller claimed it was NOS so I bought it for £15, when it arrived it was seized solid and was clearly second hand, complained and he refunded the money and said to keep it. Thought I'd see how it worked and took it apart, sanded all the casting marks etc off it and it came up ok. The internals freed off once they were apart, the grease was like rock. I have the original one off my bike, so i'll do the same to that as well and then flog one I think. Could polish it but there's a lot already polished on the bike, including the outer rims of my Lester mags and the fork sliders.
