@IronHillRestorations
I never knew one was there. Have you searched for a common o-ring replacement? |

That O ring looks like its for the 914/6 front grease cap not a 4 cyl model.

All VW products had one in the 1970s, most were never replaced when removed.

All VW products had one in the 1970s, most were never replaced when removed. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) often overlooked. But it's a pretty generic use. Something "in the ballpark" should be fine. |

It iwas never on a 6 or a 911 It is not a standard type O ring, it's soft , foam-like. As seen in the photo it has a glued seam, made from running material. |

Actually looking for an original. We plan to replicate or improve the design. Oil based greases will attack rubber. Viton is most likely the best option.

Any movement on this? My hub seals fell apart when I pulled off the hubs.
I'm thinking that part number: 2418T199 on McMaster-Car, might be perfect. Soft Rubber Oil Resistant 48mm = 1 7/8 inner diameter 3/16" thick Round profile Thanks. George |
