 I am going to use a new set of axles from a later Spridget made from better material and heat treating.  The speedy sleeve is a very good idea for both sides of the car.  Does anyone know what size and where I can order the right one for this application?  I have already ordered the new gaskets, O-ring and seals to do this job.  I am also going to try using Hylomar AF on the gasket.  I'm not sure it is in keeping with a Spridget philosophy that htere is absolutely no leak somewhere. ;^)Mike

  I'd use a speedy sleeve and a new gasket and a new hub oil seal. In a message dated 09/03/2017 20:53:56 GMT Standard Time, spridgets at autox.team.net writes:
Either the seal or the axle flange leaking there.
