Same length. check the grease seal flanges, taper on the shafts. when were they used? How many other variations are there? What were the times frames of use?
Gotta love fine point!Comment

I do believe the one on the right is an E28 with the smaller grease seal and i think that is the second generation arm, Dec 27-Jan 28 with a 1/8 seal flange

Close. The one on the right is the 3rd style, note the 15/16th sector shafts hole. it was used February 28 thru May 28.

I had to go look at mine to get a clear cut way to tell for sure. The one on the left is the 4th style without a doubt. Rod"Much of the social history of the Western world, over the past three decades, has been a history of replacing what worked with what sounded good." Thomas SowellComment

So anybody else want to play? One vote for 4th, one vote for 5th style. what do you think, and why?Comment
-
It's the 5th style because it has the 13/32 grease seal flange and the elliptical tapered arm.......3~ Tudor's & 1~ Coupe

I am looking at the transition angle on the back side of the flange. The 5th style was a thicker arm and had a steeper angle on the back side of the flange. Pic's later,,,, hopefully.

After cleaning out years of old grease, this is what I have. What do I need to rebuild it?
The deteriorated layered paper gasket/seal(?) was at the bottom of the barrel. Is that suppose to be there?

The threads were badly worn on my right front spindle. I got a very nice original from Steve at Bert's. I just finished getting it all back together. But, the inner dust seal (cupped washer) which is a nice press fit on my old spindle, spins freely on the new spindle. Would a small amount of JB Weld on the inner diameter/back of the seal work to hold it in place?06-16-2020, 06:15 PM

Found this photo on the net of a modern type seal. Just found out it is a modern seal with an alum. outer jacket sold by Specialty Motor Cam ( replacement shocks, etc.)....11-18-2017, 03:00 PM -
I'm installing rear wheel hub seals right now and I have a question. I searched the Chassis and Powertrain tech areas, but no luck. Maybe I'm too stupid to do an efficient search??
How deep do the seals sit?
Seams simple enough... most cars have a ridge to seat the seal against, but not in this case. This makes for no hard stop for the seal and I'm concerned that I'll install the...05-23-2018, 06:49 PM -
Hi, I have the new modern seal and there is an inner ring that appears to be directional, does the beveled side inner seal fin point toward the radiator or toward the crank case?10-24-2017, 07:18 PM -
How close should I trim a front rope seal? I usually use one piece seals.

My 82-A window glass channels have the remains of a rubber seal in addition to the bedding. It is located on the outside portion of the channel, where there is a groove to retain the seal (inside red oval in the photo below). I would anticipate it provides a seal between the window and the outer panel of the door. However, I can't seem to find this seal at my usual suppliers. Can anyone confirm...09-22-2020, 10:09 PM -
Has any one had good luck with the one pice rear main seal ? Like 100% success.01-20-2018, 09:56 AM -
Which is better...The Front Crankshaft "teflon coated rubber rope" packing...OR this new Front Crankshaft "one piece nitrile seal"?
I have always used the rope in the past.
Thanks.

Got call a from the Model A shop. They informed me progress of my A, rebuilt motor and lots of other things are basically done. So now once weather gets warmer, I will be going there to drive it around for a couple of hours as shake down so they can correct any concerns I may have before taking it home. They informed me that a rope seal had a little seepage, but since it has been so cold they have...03-03-2019, 09:04 AM
