Careful, Blake! Ford went to hydraulic brakes in 1939. (Not an expert on old Fords, I just happened to have one of that model. With a full-house '48 Merc, but that's a whole 'nother story...) Bill

My guess is a 300SL. Just looks too 'brawny' for the 190 model. Couldn't begin to come up with a year. Nor does it appear to be the gull-wing version, but with that cover on one can't be certain. Bi

Yes, it is for the rear crankshaft seal. And, yes, you need to install it properly, it doesn't "just slip on". For an example of how to install a "Speedi-Sleeve" (same thing, I believe) see http://w
