Re: FRONT model A ‘modern’ seal use.
The modern shaft seal ("Simmering") can only be fitted if the entire front housing and the oil pan has been removed.
I also used the ropes mentioned by Patrick. When installed correctly, they provide a very good seal. There is only a slight oil mist on my car, always less than 1 drop. (The oiling out is much worse at the back of the crankshaft!)
