Hal 1 Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Hi, newbie hereJust started a new restoration and need some parts that appear to be no longer available, these are the seals on the front suspension uprights, part number 138559 in a couple of catalogues.It seems that they won't be available in the future, so what do people do? , what can I do instead of a seal ?I've bought this car dismantled so it's not like I've thrown them away by mistake or anything.I dare say I'll be doing this quite a lot in the future Thanks in advanceHal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobPearce Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Part no. 138559 is listed as "water shield" on Canley's site, and without a corresponding number on the picture.The conclusion when they were Sorry , link no longer available a couple of years back was they're not needed.

Driving a Herald in rain is not recommended as they dissolve into rust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
