As Geoff Love states, the correct and permanent fix is the Phil Marino
tapered axle installation plus his modern lip seal axle nuts. He is at
909 352 4419 and a master machinist. He has probably done 100 such axle
<conversion, plus other TC parts he has invented.
And the traditional fix is a Kotex in the hub. It's worth it to be able
to stand in line at Sav-on and state in loud and embarassed voice:
"It's not for me... ...it's for my car!" (Well at least for the
males of our species!)
