Timing cover oil seal

[tom'sB2B]

Having a difficult time finding the correct oil seal for the timing cover. I picked up this one from Napa, but am wondering if anyone knows of a better option.

If there is a difficulty to find a replacement seal, an alternative is to take one with the correct shaft diameter and (let) fabricate a sleeve that fits the outer diameter.

That should improve the chance to get one without much trouble which fits . Most of time I even get one out of the metric shelf that fits to my US truck.

according t my National Oil seals catalog the timing cover seal for 1946-48 D24 is NAtional Number 6186 and this is the same as the victor gasket  ss49521

 

hope this helps get the correct gasket or seal.
