[Healeys] Rear hub seal

[Alan Seigrist]

Elton -

No one sells those old seals anymore.  The new ones are metal backed
too, but the metal is under the rubber.

The seals should be ok, the modern rubbers don't weaken with age like
the older seals with the spring.  If you have concerns take the seal
to your local NAPA store and they'll be able to match the size...
