Leather Seals

Posted by Dan in Ore on September 26, 2003 at 11:01:24 from (198.81.26.177):

I am restoring an F-14. It has leather seals on the axles and I am sure other parts. It is quite apparent that the seals have been leaking. I would like to know if there is some way to rejuvinate the leather or am I doomed to look for neoprene replacements.

There is also an appreciable amount of wear on the axles (haven't got to the other shafts yet) and I reallly don't want to take them out and build them up and turn them down in the lathe. Should I go with an 1/8" smaller ID seal (1-1/2 instead of 1-15/8).

Any suggestions are welcome and appreciated.

Dan
