Hi guys. I need the shim size for the oil splash shield that goes on the rear axle bearing cap seal for swing axle cars. This is for a short axle 65.

What size are you referring to, thickness, or diameter? I would think the thickness could vary, maybe .020-.040. The inner diameter is going to be the axle size, so maybe 1.18/30mm. The outer diameter is going to be just shy of the seal diameter, so maybe 1.96-2.36/50mm-60mm. |

WW is one of the few aftermarket companies that goes the extra mile on things, and contracts a lot of things to be made for them. I would image if/when you do find the actual diameter/thickness, having a company stamp/waterjet shims from a known thickness sheet wouldn’t be to difficult. WW has the advantage of the more you make, the less cost per unit. |

I think I got an axle seal kit from Airhead many years ago that also had the slinger disc in it. That was a long time ago though, but I remember taking a photo of it over a decade ago. Diameter only, not thickness, but it's certainly not flimsy. Looks like 51.5mm or so...

hi, thanks for the picture. i measured the axle and got 30mm. then i meassured the step on the axle cap and got 60mm.
the 60mm could be wrong as for i couldnt get the teeth of the caliper in there enough but i ordered a set of the slingers and i will measure then and post up upon arrival.
thanks again _________________ -'85 c10 5.3 LS, 222 cam, long tubes, x pipe, 3 inch spin tech's
