Colin Lindsay Posted September 27, 2022 Report Share Posted September 27, 2022 Yours is the same as my early Herald, then, no sealing cup - see photo. All the early cars had was a rubber seal that goes between the upright and the caliper bracket, not shown above but amazingly James Paddock had them a while back - I got two for my early 1200. The only seal here at all is the felt seal in the hub, and as Pete says it gos into the hub with the metal backing plate tight against the bearing, so that you can see the felt. The end of the hub and the felt seal, fit into the hole in the upright so that the felt rubs against the metal around the base of the stub axle and creates a greasy seal.

Pete Lewis Posted September 27, 2022 Report Share Posted September 27, 2022 you could use any sealer to seal the braket to the stub if the 0 ring is disintegrated Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve P Posted September 29, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2022 I think i figured this out, one side has the water shield for the felt seal and one doesn`t. And i think a previous owner has rebuilt it with the felt seal with the metal ring on the upright rather than the hub, that`s definitely how it came off. All i need is to source a water seal ring, anyone know if they are available as the usual suspects all say NLA?. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
