I just went through this for an oil seal on an engine I was putting up for sale.
I found there are many sites that you can order by size/type. Many have phone numbers that you can call and talk to a tech that knows their stuff.

Here is the site I used (but I ended up finding it in a brand specific dealer.)

I didn't use this one, but I just found them. They have a menu pull down titled "Garage Gurus." I would call them just because of that had I seen them before.

Subject: [Shop-talk] Trying to find odd oil seal

Decades ago I saw an oil seal for a shaft that I am trying to find again. Picture a slinky with a rubber sealing lip on the inside. You wind it around a shaft when the end of the shaft has a flange on it too big to pass a normal seal. 60’s Datsun Roadster engines use rope seals on the back end of the crank that are really difficult to get to seal properly. I thought that if I could find a source for this seal that it might be worth a try. I’d have to machine the block & cap to accept it, but I have a spare to try it on. If anyone else has any other ideas, please let me know. Shop Talk content: I will be rebuilding this engine in my shop soon. Peace,Pat
