Anything that would work. Looks like a pretty normal seal. I can measure if needed. Not really wanting to order from Czeck. It can't be that difficult.

Thanks

Ralph

You're in luck. That's the only part that a kubel and a thing share.

I thought that too. I remember replacing the one on my Thing. But when I looked it up it had a different cross section. I'm going to try different vendorsa. I bet the vendor I looked at showed the wrong part.

Thank you.

I can see that. THe history of the Thing and govt contracts. Wide 5 drums. The lug bolts from a Thing are also the really early bolts. I special ordered Thing lug bolts only to find I had a huge can full of old bolts that fit.

Thanks for your note. I ordered a seal from The Thing Shop today.
