Ray, looking for the bigger type 4 rear main seals

Post by Vgonman »

I cannot find these locally or on the net........all i can find are the regualr sized rear main seals that are viton...........looking for the thicker one......bothe the case on my 412, and the case on a buddies vanagon have that larger recess for the rear main seal......thus the smaller (thinner) seals if you bottom them out leak like a sieve, and if you leave them flush with the case they leak, too............... I need a source for the thicker ones in Viton if possible. I have tried my local rubber and gasket place, and Bearing Distributors. No luck. I need at least 2 ASAp!
