Does anybody know how to identify the correct seal for a given Toploader tail and where best to source?
The current seal which has been weeping for a while is marked 1.5 x 2.5 x 0.375 but I want to be sure it’s the right one before I replace it. Also looking on Jegs or Summit I don’t seem to be able to find anything with these dimensions.
Thanks.
Dave.

Is he responding to contacts these days? I tried for ages when I was looking to install a toploader, but gave up after several months - and anyway, an ally-casing T10L came along. Possibly the single-most expensive component I've ever bought....simonjrwinter wrote: ↑Sun Mar 21, 2021 10:25 pm Have you tried David Kee?

IIRC all toploader tail shaft seals are the same, and also cross over to the C4 auto. The proper one has an extra external lip. A lot of times why these weep is because the white metal bearing is also shot. Hauser Racing will have both.

If all else fails, try the Sunbeam Tiger Owners club - they have a lot of toploader expertise.

Re: Ford Toploader Yoke Seal
A Tiger toploader fits a Cobra beautifully, although the rear gearbox mount needs a bit of work as the Cobra and Mustang chassis brackets are completely different.
I think Gerry fits Mustang brackets to his chassis, though, to get around this.

For illustration only. The correct seal is not a generic single lip type.
