front hub inner oil seal

["H M" <vine01@hotmail.com>]

Hello list,
I was given part CR 14708, a metal seal with a nice rubber inner that fits 
on the shoulder of the front spindle.  This arrangement is to be more better 
than a felt inner seal? The problem I have is that the axel spindle shoulder 
is 1.385" and the rubber seal on the CR part is 1.433" .  I'd prefer it 
tighter, but the parts man says, "that's as close as I can get".  What have 
others done?

Thanks
