[TR] TR Rear Crank Seal Rope?

[Notakitcar]

I used the one from Joe Alexander, still leaked a little but tolerable, followed Kas Kastner’s book.  If anyone needs a mandrel, you can have mine for the shipping.

Which after-market kit did you use in your TR3A?

 

I installed one long (>15 years) ago but it wasn’t effective. I’d be interested in one known to work.

 

TIA
