Hey everyone,

Just throwing it out there, since I can't seem to source one in australia? Hoping someone might have a spare laying around that I can buy??

Cheers

Daniel

have you tried the businesses that actually stock scat items ie vintage or classicvw

Yeah all the usual suspects, nothing in stock.... found plenty of the empi seals, but they're 57mm OD. Scat is 59mm.

I've ordered one from the states this morning but that is at least 10 days away!

Hi Dave,

They didn't have any in stock last week.... I'll try again?

Cheers

did you try a bearing shop? they stock seals and you just have to give them the number off the seal.

hey bugboy,

Yeah tried a stack of them, problem is these seals (both empi & scat) are 59OD X 45ID by only 4mm deep. They are essentially grease seals, as they don't use a spring like conventional oil seals.... there isn't enough room!

Cheers
