    Leaking axle... and not the good kind

    I use pipe gasket from work. Size is almost perfect. Here is some photo's This material is viton and is resistant to chemicals, heat, and oils. You can pour 78% sulfuric acid on this rubber no problem.

    Leaking axle... and not the good kind

    Picture of the cork wedge. I agree cork seems like the cheap solution. Wedges made out of rubber (ie EPDM, Viton, etc..) should out last cork.

    Working on the Deuce

    Round two, brakes are out of wack. They were so tight i could not get the hub off. I was hoping not to have to adjust them. Guess I am going deeper down the rabbit hole.

    Working on the Deuce

    Found some epdm cord. Decided to go with that. Every is back together now. Need a couple of new ndt tires though. If I can't find them guess I will flip the hubs so I can make due. Got the gasket material from Napa (thanks Bob). Going to do that fix, touch paint, and then wiper hose. After...
