Hi mate, I am a Land Rover KZbinr from the UK, I am in the middle of a project for a video where I’m asking a few Land Rover enthusiasts a few questions (such as what got them into land rovers, what was there first Land Rover, what’s there best Land Rover story etc.) I was just wondering if you would be willing to partake in this project by any chance. If not then that’s fine and if you would be interested then please let me know and I will share a private video with you explaining everything. Cheers, Rhys

@@spannersonthefen3491 Alright cheers 👍 I’m just working on the video explaining everything, it should be ready in about 2 days or so.

Hi there, Nice job and info in your video - thank you. I found the same County metal cased seals you chose to go with and am curious of a couple things. On my original metal ones that I removed, the sealing bit seems leather. May I ask, 1)Are your metal County seals leather or rubber inside?, and 2)How are they working out for you? I'm going nuts trying to decide on metal cased (with leather?) vs. rubber ones of newer technology like Bearmach sells. Many thanks.

My new County seals are rubber inside, not leather, and they are working just fine! No leaks from my pinions now.

@@spannersonthefen3491 Great to hear. Was hoping they'd be rubber, since I've read the rubber 'expands' and tightens on the shaft with any diff pressure increase. Congrats on no leaks.

Do you remember what the required torque settings for the final castle nut were? Thanks

Not being an expert but also a fellow 2A owner. Are you sure they were brass gaskets and not copper? Thanks for the video.

[@spannersonthefen3491]

Yes. Almost certainly copper! :D
