MG MGB Technical - Pinion Oil Seal

G'day. I have a small leak from the pinion oil seal on the rear axle of my '67 model roadster. I can get a part number from Moss but my local supplier has no way of relating that to a size. Could anyone tell me the ID, OD and width of the oil seal. He has found a part number for a midget and a Marina. The measurements of those are

1.5 x 2.5 x .375 (38.1 x 63.5 x 9.5mm)
1.66 x 2.63 x .375 (42.1 x 66.7 x 9.5mm)

Don't really want to take it all apart before I have a spare to install.


Any help appreciated.

Tony,
The other alternative is to give Bruce Smith at Sportsparts a ring and he'll probably have the correct part in the mail to you today!

Thanks Steve, mine is the banjo type, maybe I got the OD wrong as the ID and width seem to be the same.

Good idea David, I keep forgetting him. I'll call him.
