Vitesse front wheel bearing grease seals

[scj9876]

Hi everyone, my 2l MK1 vitesse has a worn out o/s wheel bearing. I was looking to order parts from Canley but their parts diagram shows one felt seal on the axle, mine seems to have 2, a smaller one made entirely of felt and then another larger one with a metal backing. They seem to fit and hold in the grease but is it normal?

You don't say whether you are referring to inner or outer bearing.

However, Canley's diagram is exactly the same as shown in my original "Triumph Vitesse 1600 & 2 Litre Mk1 Spare Parts Catalogue". 

So Iwoul;d have no hesitation in ordering what Canley's are showing.

Sorry I meant the inner bearing. I've ordered the parts and will take a look at the other side to see if that has the same.

Can't remember the set up when I did one of mine, though the new felt ones I understand are commonly, too thick (or used to be). I reused the old ones.
