Bob,

Snipped a good bit of the original post.

On the conversion to the lip seals, got any recommendations on manufacturer
and/or PNs??

I just re-did mine with new felts (and bearings) and found the bearing
adjustment creative at best

Thanks

Steve



Jon's message implied that there is a quality control problem with many of
the stock felt-seal (orignal type) grease seals (the felt is too thick).
This makes sense because if you see the pedal to the floor thing a lot,
you will notice that the bearings seem very loose when you go to check
them. Of course one fix for the seal problem is to convert to modern
lip-type seals - set 'em and forget 'em. But you still have to check the
bearings!!!
