There was a small home made seal in the recess when I removed it. Is there another type of seal available? thanks, Dean Attachment 149299 |
What you show only has an O ring and that is confirmed if you look at the page from the parts book that you have as a back ground. 1800ES has a J type OD. One gets so used to referring to the top hat seal that it gets confusing. I think the top hat only goes with the D type OD. Another post shows the right angle drive and that confuses as well. I think that is only on earlier B18 1800 cars. The Amazon didn't need it as there was more room around the gearbox due to the larger tunnel. OD speedo cable is longer than the one for the M40 box. It can be stretched but will be a very bad curve and likely jam and brake the inner in short order. Amazon M40 63"- M41 77".
If we are talking about an 1800ES and it does have a D type OD was it converted from an automatic? Does a M41 with a D OD fit on a cable clutch bell housing? Answers on a postcard.....
