Rear Mainshaft Seal

[nkaminar]

Here is my true story about a massive oil leak at the rear main. in the mid 1960's I went on a tour with some other Model A owners up the Big Sur coast from San Luis Obispo. One of the cars developed a massive oil leak and we dropped the pan to find the Babbett mostly gone out the rear bearing cap. As fortune would have it the owner found a leather sandal on the side of the road and cut the sole to fit the cap. He bolted it up and drove the 150 miles home, without the massive oil leak.
