Dave's 1971 1302 Not-So-Secret, Secret Project Build

[Bruce.]

Is that a new flywheel or an old one? If the shoulder that the seal rests on is at all rough or grooved, it will kill the seal in no time.

Also, I source a genuine VW seal to put on the shelf for next time. The normal aftermarket ones don't last and I'm not a big fan of the silicon type.

Bentley manual doesn't give an exact position for the seal but in the past I've gone for slightly under the face of the case.

Looks the business by the way. Well done to you!!!
