changing from the old felt seals to modern rubber lip seals, on the left side , basically all Ive done is
make a new threaded bearing retaining ring to house a seal and make an extended dustcover/spacer
on the right side fortunately there is 2.5mm depth available in the bearing pocket so a 40mm seal
can be inserted, although I fitted the seal open side out as the as the seal has a shorter chamfer
this side, the only reason for this project is I'm machining a batch of disc hubs from billet and didnt see
the point in fitting the standard felt seal arrangement , of course the hubs will have sealed bearings
so the new seal arrangement is only to replace the felt seal and also keep any water from entering the bearing area.
I havent drilled the threaded retaining ring for the 4 pin spanner.
no great mod,
