Ok, so I was absolutely sure I had one on the shelf...to replace the one that
was leaking on my daily driver '67 Mk. II (1147 cc).  


Unfortunately, I was
wrong.   


I need to get this car back on the road by Monday if possible.  I
understand all the 1147's and 1296's through 1970 have the same seal.


Anyone
got one on the shelf they can look for a manufacturer's part number?  Please
email me directly as I'm on the digests and won't get the info right away.

 Maybe this will help: an old Beck-Arnley catalog gives me Weston WRG-43. I
couldn't find anything like that on the current Pioneer-Weston web site,
but....
