Any suggestions how to fix or where to buy from? Is it just dust cover or something?

Axle is from 190 1986 Transit..

Cheers!

So no one has no corrosion problems with this "shaft seal cover" im after? :shock:

Ive sent this picture now to few shops in uk and theres no reply yet.. Id like to get my axle sand blasted and painted but i hate when theres parts half dropped to road because rust..

Has someone solved this with some magic :wink:

?

Cheers!

I don't think that theres anything behind it that desperately needs protecting from what I remember when I stripped mine (to have it all blasted and repainted) i'll have another look when I next get up the shed but looking at a picture that I have it doesn't look like there's anything that sits hard up to it at the hub end as there are no shiny marks or clean bits on the end of the sleeve.....

you could probably get away without having them fitted :?:

other than that then you need to find a Mk3 twin wheel axle with them still in good nick

cheers mate!

in the outer end of this "cover", you can see some sort seal, axle bearing seal?

part nro 3..

Yes that is the rear hub seal but it seals against and spins on the last "step" of the axle casing (hope that makes sense)

having looked again at the pictures and exploded drawing I think the job of this sleeve is to prevent any grease that passes the seal from contaminating the brake linings :!:
