    I know I've seen a link here before to a site where you can find a wheel seal by dimensions, but I can't find it. Does anyone remember where that is?

    I'm looking for a seal for the front wheels on our land speed Model T, but have no idea what the front hubs are off of. Maybe a circle track application? It says SCP-1801 and the dimensions are: shaft 2.5, housing bore 3.187, .360 wide.

    Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Hemi Joel

    Any good bearing vendor can cross reference your part number or match it to a proper replacement. I always buy from a bearing house and never from a Auto parts house or OEM dealers if possible. Mostly because of the price difference and country of origin. For instance, NAPA sells two kinds of Timken bearings. At least here they do. They have Timken made in China and U.S. made Timken. Oddly enough, the U.S. versions are cheaper and probably better quality. You might want to talk to Snyders or Brattons about this seal. I also have some Model T front hubs that I can check the measurements on. If I can come up with something, I will leave you a PM.

    Opps. I should have been more clear: no T parts remain on the car. These are some racing style front hubs that a previous owner put on it.
    But I did find the seal we need by dimensions from the catalog
