Propshaft yoke collar seal?

[twodoorgaz]

Hi,

I'm about to start reassembling the two propshafts for my 1972 SIII SWB after a fell strip, clean and repaint.

The propshafts yoke has a threaded collar on the sliding joint, which I had to remove. Inside this collar was the remains of a seal presumably to hold the joint together and to keep the grease in. The front prop had a rubber/cork seal while the rear prop had a sprung metal seal - a bit like a piston ring oil scraper.

Problem is that these aren't shown in my parts manual and I can't find a single reference to them online.

Anybody know where I can get such a seal? I may have to measure up and just get a generic rubber oil seal to fill the gap.

Thanks in advance.

series props would normally have a rubber gaitor over the entire joint, have to say i havent noticed a seal when i took mine apart. sorry if that doesnt help

Thanks Dave. Yes I have a new rubber gaitor ready to go on. The seal I'm talking about is a ring that fits inside the threaded collar on the sliding joint. I can grab some photos tomorrow if needs be.

You won't get one from LR, the parts books only list complete propshafts, try http://www.baileymorris.co.uk/ or http://www.dandfltd.co.uk/products/4x4-and-landrover/

you could probably just put an O ring in there, might be a bit of a trial and error of the thickness needed, but should do the trick. or even buy a O ring kit then you can make one up.
