[Healeys] Leaking rear axle hub (BT7) following recent installation of new seal!

[John Harper]

Bob

If my memory serves me right there were three version of the rear hub on
big Healeys

The ones on BN2 had no 'O' ring. then there was a middle version with a
smaller diameter version fitted in a one sided groove and then the final
version that I guess you have with a full double sided groove for the ring

Best regards
