Hello-
In the process of rebuilding an old style steering assembly and have gathered the part numbers from messicks 190100 steering group using an "old vs new" PDF drawing that I found on the web. The one thing that I can't seem to find is the o-ring for the sector shaft. Does anyone know what size it might be?
One of the previous owners (one of many over it's lifetime I'm sure) gave up trying to make it oil tight (it was full of grease and bearing bits) so I'm looking at replacing just about everything to see if we can make it work in an oil bath. The o-ring seems important for that purpose but actually the parts list from messicks calls for an oil seal. Looks like the o-ring serves that purpose..?
Any thoughts from someone who has done a rebuild?
Thanks
Mark
