[TR] TR Rear Crank Seal Rope?

[rjray.architect at gmail.com]

I bought the rear seal kit from The Roadster Factory.

 

Moss may carry the same kit.

Which after-market kit did you use in your TR3A?

 

I installed one long (>15 years) ago but it wasn’t effective. I’d be interested in one known to work.

 

TIA
