Hi
A happy seal

The KingKong hub on my race BMX has a small seal between freehub body and the shell that I simply cannot identify.

It's this shape:-

\[]___________[]/

where the \ / bits are the seals and the [] are the body. The body fits on to the freehub and the seal then rubs against the hub shell. Kind of the opposite of most radial seals.

Size wise, it's 38x46x4 - IDxODxT

I can't find anything like it anywhere and it has no identification on it at all. I can't even find a name for this type of seal so I can go looking for one. Can anyone identify/name it so I can go find one?

Hub is one of these - not that that will help anyone but pics are always good.

King Kong Hub

Many thanks in advance.

Gaz

Can't give a definitive answer, but if you ask it if there's still a part of it that wants to live then that will at least get the ball rolling on a process of elimination.
