Rich,

I looked and no one that I checked with could find a modern #. I ended up using the originals that were, in my opinion questionable even after soaking them in oil for about a month. Someone did find a single lipped seal but I cannot remember if it was here, on the G or SS.

 I have installed some double lip seals in a couple of rollers on my M4A1. It will be a while until I can say how they work overtime. They run $13.00 from me the national seal number is 473458.

Thanks I will look into those.  I am not giving up yet.  I have a friend that works on heavy equipment and he deals with a parts guy that enjoys looking for hard to find parts.  I am going to give my friend the remaining good original one that I have and see what happens.

Hi Kevin,
Have these seals worked out for you? Did you drill any holes to allow air to escape?

 No issues that I know of. No drilling done.
 Happy New Year

Kevin,

Since these seals are thinner then the originals, did you press them up against the bearing or flush on the opening? 

Thanks,

Paul
