1950 Merc front wheel seal # ??

[Chris Marshall]

It appears the front wheels seals for the 1950 Mercury's are no longer listed in catalogs. Does anyone have a part number for this seal from an older catalog? National/CR/Victor - any of the popular brands would work. I can try to cross the seal or find a replacement based on dimension.

If all else fails, I can look at the seals that come out. I really wanted to have a pair of seals on hand when I do the brakes this weekend.

Thanks in advance for the help.

This is from a old national seal catalog...

49-51 Mercury National # 6429 Merc. # 8m-1190
also fits 49-57 Lincoln

 

[51 MERC-CT]

Another option is to have the hubs machined to accept modern rubber seals. This is one of the hubs that I had done. (probably can make out the part number of the seal used)
