Early Ford V-8 Club Forum

FORUM RULES: Users agree to these Rules when using Forum.

The site administrator reserves the right to change the terms and conditions of the user agreement without prior notice to the user. It is the responsibility of the user to regularly review the terms of this agreement.

The user agrees to the following terms:

  1. All information that you provide to us for your membership is correct.
  2. You will not use your membership to spam, harrass, or exploit other members in any way.
  3. Vulgar, Abusive, Racist and Sexist Language will not be tolerated.
  4. Commercial-type sales postings will not be allowed.
  5. No mass posting or flooding of the boards is allowed.
  6. No Advertising of parts or cars; no Ebay or business/commercial ads (please use the "Classified" for ads Wanted or For Sale).
  7. VIEWING MULTIPLE TOPICS ON SCREEN: You can choose to see more than 10 Topics at a time ... Log In and choose "Preferences" from the top bar on the Forum page. Scroll down and Change the "Default Topics Returned" parameter to 25 or 50, and save the changes. Since this setting is stored in your browser 'cookies' (if enabled), it seems to use that stored value even if you are not logged in. So, if you use a PC that you haven't logged into the forum from, the setting still seem to remain at the default.
  8. EXTERNAL PHOTO LINKS ON FORUM: You can still use external photo links in your posts on the new forum. They follow the rules of any link in that they have to have the URL link qualified down to the full image file name (example: .jpg). The links will open in a new browser window, the same as an uploaded image attached to a post. Since an image attachment to any post does not display inline with the post, the results are the same. You can use multiple external links within a post. This link is from photos on a site from Don Clink's 'Deuce@75' albums:

    http://donclink.com/deuce_75_1/images/dscn2950.jpg

    Using links from photo sites such as Photobucket can help in "size" issue with uploaded attachment files. For best viewing in web browsers, photos should be around the 800x600 pixel range, and probably not more than 1024x768. Most cameras today store HUGE jpg image files, as the default settings are in the 7, 8, 10, and 12Mb image sizes. The image files that are then attached are very large, and the browser can't display the full image size without using the scroll bars. Use the re-sizing functions of your photo editing software to reduce the image to 800x600, which reduces the file sixe and the image load time in the browser. Don uses Google's free Picassa3 software, which is an excellent photo management product. All of the photo albums of the Deuce, Grand National, and Auburn that are links on the NORG site were built using Picassa's web creation functions. And it's free? (THANKS to Don Clink for the info!)
  9. HOW DO I SHOW MY EMAIL ADDRESS ALONG WITH MY USERNAME? You can LogIn on the Forum, and select PREFERENCES. On this page Members can add optional information such as their City,State, Country; Occupation; Hobbies: list a Homepage; list AOL Instant Messanger Handle; Signature; "Make Email Address viewable to others;" and even change the number of Default Topics shown on a page. WHEN others click on your profile, they will see this information.

A good future update for this forum would be the ability to post more than one picture at a time

I found these numbers listed and can not confirm if they are correct for the aftermarket seal:

Aftermarket repair seals outside axle housing: National 6510S, Fel-Pro 14697, Trostel 36320, Chrysler T905

In fact you can order custom seals if you know the correct measurements. From these guys http://karas-seal.com, for example

The outer axle seal that Parrish posted a picture of on 5/26, is the aftermarket seal that I have mentioned several times in various posting to the EFV8 Forum.

This type of seal was made by many manufactures, one of which was National. The seals purpose was to eliminate the need to completely tare down a rear end to replace the inner axle seals. The seal was especially useful on the Columbia side of a Ford rear end.

The design of the seal allowed some gear oil to pass by and into the wheel bearings.

I have this type of replacement seals in the rear end of my '36 Ford w/Columbia.. I saved the boxes they came in for many years, eventually the boxes went away.

Gene N, you may be kidding yourself in not taking that rear apart and replacing all three of those B-4245 oil seals. If someone used those aftermarket oil seals at the ends of the axel housing bearing journals it was most likely because the B-4245 seals were bad/leaking. It might be like the old saying "pay me now or pay me later, but eventually you must pay me" JMHO

There are three B-4245 lip type oil seals in a closed drive EFV8 banjo rear. One in the bell end of the torque tube to keep oil from draining back into the driveshaft area from the universal joint housing. The other two are inside the ends of the axel housings near the wheel bearing journals to seal around the axels keeping oil from entering the wheel bearing and brake shoe/drum areas. The aftermarket seal that was mentioned was a quick fix to stop oil leakage if a B-4245 axel housing seal went bad and you did not want to take the rear completely apart to replace the seal.
