Cpt.Fred Posted February 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 (edited) Andy, thanks for the scan, that gives some valuable info! The part shown in plate 49 and 50 as part #6 is the one pressed into the inner side of the hub, my last photo of post #121. I regard it as part of the bearing seal assembly ----> group 22: wheels. The parts in question that are shown on your scan (very interesting that it is 3 parts actually) is part of the brake assembly. That makes them part of ----> group 5: brakes -service (5C - brake support). That explains why i could not find them anywhere in my lists... The 1940 passenger car parts list that i have doesn't sport that very illuminative illustration that you posted. A shame... So, if i just need to get me some thick piece of felt and some rivets and it's ok to straighten the metal parts as goos as possible, then i could give it a try. I think i should open them by grinding down the rivets and take them apart to see what i can do. Let's see what your guy has to say. EDIT: while i posted #126, you wrote post 125 simultaniously.. what you just said is true. The dust seal is what i mean. It is referred to by different terms in my lists.

RobertKB Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 I just got inner and outer rear axle seals from Rovon Auto Parts in Coquitlam, BC, Canada for my '51 Dodge. Seals are probably different than yours but he has a very large supply. These were Mopar seals in the original package as I asked him to make sure that they were Mopar. I know I gave you his name, phone number, and address in a PM. He is very reasonably priced and shipping would be reasonable also. He will have the right bearings, seals, front suspension parts, or whatever you want for your car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt.Fred Posted February 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 Thanks Robert, i know i have the phone number right here. The problem with that specific part was that i didn't find any numbers or specific info on it until now. I'll call them later and ask, i think it's very early in the morning now in Canada...

Andydodge Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 After a good nights sleep and another yr older......yep.....I'm the birthday boy.........61 today.............anyway after sleeping on it, I was thinking that if you can't find the dust seal and as it just sits there minding its own business, how about repairing/straightening the metal parts, and checking the local upholstery or hardware store for some similar stuff, even foam rubber that with an application of silicon should do the job.........also I decided not to worry the local bearing shop as what you need would not be within their field of expertise...................you are able to get the inner grease seal aren't you?................andyd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt.Fred Posted February 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 Hey, Andy, happy birthday from over here and all the best to you! You shouldn't bother going to bearing stores on your birthday anyway. With the new info i made several inquiries at a number of different places for the desired parts (including Canada). If the replies are negative or the cost is out of my price range i'll figure something out. As i said, sorry for making a fuss about it, but i can get pretty stubborn from time to time... And now, off to the birthday cake with you! I raise a glass of wine over here (it's near bed time for me) a bring out a toast to you. And to all you other guys as well,following and helping with this... Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TodFitch Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 I think the felt was to keep the dirt down so the seal on the hub had less stuff to damage it. Again, I just bought some felt from an industrial supply, cleaned up the sheet metal and riveted it all back together. Not a big job compared to the other things you've been doing.

Cpt.Fred Posted February 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 That looks spotless, Tod! Very cool. That or something very similar is my goal. So, no luck on the parts, nobody seems to have them, Us, Canada, Turkey, and what not. Guess i'll have to do as suggested and build them from scratch. Packed everything up in the trunk yesterday to make sure nothing gets lost, i'll be away for about two weeks now and go on rebuilding afterwards...

Cpt.Fred Posted March 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 Aaaaalright... i finally found the time to get back to work on the Plymouth. Pressed in new king pin bushings: Reaming took forever... ...but in the end everything worked fine and the pin slid through the bushing by its own weight nice and smooth. test fitting: final assembly: next step is to adjust the bump stops, or whatever they are called... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cpt.Fred Posted March 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 thanks, guys. still too much work and playing the waiting game... working on the motorcycle as a displacement activity. the plymouth serves as installation art in the middle of the work shop and blocks everything. i have to keep myself from piling too much stuff on top of it. hope to get back to work after the easter holidays...
