I'm currently rebuilding my T-18 transfer case, it is a post-war unit, with has the Spicer (Diamond) Brown Lipe tag in place. With being in the U.K., I am building my MB up from a mix of CJ, MB and GPW parts, what ever I can source really. I was wondering if anyone can help me with the seals that go on the rear cap section of the T-18. I purchased a seal and gasket set, produced by crown in the U.S.
In the kit, there are two felt sections, roughly the diameter of the two seals that are also included, and also two shift fork oil seals, which have a green coating on the outside diameter.
roughly guessing, for the rear cap section, is it gasket first, felt, and then seal, or gasket, seal, and then felt?. I was also contemplating using some hylomar blue to seal the outside diameter up when fitting, any advice?
For the shift fork seals, can they be placed in situ as is?, or would anyone recommend sealing them up when fitting?.
I was also wondering if anyone could tell me anything about my unit from the casting numbers?, there appears to be a hand-ettched initial on the front cap section next to the casting number. I have also included the tag, which has the serial J 222347 stamped in place. I painted this black temporarily to see how it would come out, the original paint had long gone.
Pics attached below.
Many thanks.
