Sealed With a Kiss...

The hunt for parts for the Q4 continues.... Tony has now, kindly, disassembled the front and rear hubs. The fronts are OK but as outlined in a previous post, the wheel cylinders were seized and Past Parts have weaved their magic on them. The rears were worse, the cylinders were equally seized and the hub seals too were beyond redemption. Que a hunt for new seals. Tony tried some trusted suppliers that he knew - with no luck. But, responding to an advert in the back of Classic Vintage and Commercial Magazine, I tried these guys - Oil Seal UK - who specialise in oil seals for classic vehicles. Would they have some rear seals for a Commer Q4, itself now quite a rare vehicle? Yup, they did (an NA883, apparently) and 48 hours after posting off a cheque, two new old stock Payen seals arrived in the post, still in their original boxes and protective paper. Excellent service!
