I fit simple lip seals, better than nothing. OD is 1.25 inch, but is a very tight fit in the hub tube so often the outside of the seal needs to be filed/sanded/skimmed to fit better, buy spares! The 1 inch id is a good fit on the pin though I face the lips outwrds to keep the dirt out and this allows some grease to ooze out past. Here is a link to a UK supplier:- http://simplybearings.co.uk/shop/p32062/...oduct_info.html

Ideally one needs tougher 'scraper seals' in this size, but have not found such yet.

To fit these seals, the bushes need to be be pushed in by around 5mm, so if they were already in place and aligned then they may well missalign, so be warned!

I also use a flexible silicone hose over the rebound spring, such as:-

I run on Vesconite HiLube bushes on hard chrome pins and so far +30,000 miles no wear. The bushes are turned on a lathe to get the correct internal diameter to just slide on the pin, then the outside diameter is rough turned to be slightly loose in the hub tube. Then the bushes are coated in epoxy and then inserted with the pin through the middle of the bushes thus ensuring perfect bush alignement with no need to ream afterwards! Vesco Plastics who manufacture Vesconite HiLube recommend the use of high grade epoxy to secure bushes in place on steel. Works for them and me (so far).

As to why Morgan Motor Co do not fit such is beyond me, they do seem reluctant to change some things.

No photo sorry, as probably not realy needed, but I have yet to find out how to do that, must try harder!

I have no links to the companies mentioned above.
