[Fot] diff seal for TR6

A few weeks ago I asked for advice regarding replacing the pinion 
seal on my street TR6. Comments were that Viton would have a longer 
life when subjected to the additives in differential lube.

I just returned from a visit to the local bearing and seal company, 
Motion Industries, who said they could find only one seal with a 
2.686 OD and 1.500 ID. It is a single lip Buna seal made by Chicago 
Rawhide. I think it will be better than the last replacement seal I 
installed several years ago, which I find was an original equipment 
type made from so,e sort of felt.

Before I wrestle this thing back together, has anyone on the list 
actually found a Viton seal for this application? Or, has someone 
recently ordered a seal of modern construction from one of the 
aftermarket companies?
