John,
How old is that bell housing? There were two different front covers used. The
early ones have a scroll type seal as you describe.
THe later ones have the means of adding a modern type of seal. If yours is the
older type, you can replace the cover with the later
one.
I might have one of them in my collection of parts. If you want me to look,
let me know
Regards,
Joe
