Any information on this clutch pedal bearing seal 211721395

[Troytempest69]

Parts book has a seal for LHD split vans. Can’t find any pics, references, or for sale in any supplier. There is some information for an ’A’ variant but this is for a bay window.

It looks like a rubber o ring type seal but would be good to know if people are using it, and where from?

Appears to be Bay only

Yeah, it’s strange. It’s in the splittie part book but other than that it’s like this part never existed. I’ve dug out my Bentley and there’s no sign of the seal in the pictures on in the section that discusses removing or installing the clutch pedal linkage.

On the bright side…it’s a part I don’t now need to find

The seal is basically a short (10mm) piece of rubber hose. But that didn't work too good.

I made my own seal with a plastic donut shaped adapter which I made on my lathe and a rubber o-ring.

Thanks Michael….nice to know I wasn’t going crazy. If I’ve understood your solution the plastic spacer has an inset that the rubber o ring sits into?

[mdege]

Yes, correct.

I've found these on a couple buses, mostly badly deteriorated.

I substituted a piece of rubber radiator hose and it does seem to seal things up some.
Very neat solution with the home made plastic spacer/o-ring.
You could probably sell a few of those if you were so inclined.

My 65 had one when I took off pedals, it was cup shaped IIRC; Pedalwerks supplied a length of hose sized properly to replace, I had a bay seal in my parts bin but it was too big.

With Pedalwerks seal:
