Aldpilot Posted December 27, 2018 Report Share Posted December 27, 2018 Needing to replace my front seal on my TR5 differential, I see I have a choice of leather or rubber. Both similar prices, so what’s the best? Anyone got any views please. Thanks Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rob Salisbury Posted January 2, 2019 Report Share Posted January 2, 2019 Leather needs an overnight soak in diff oil before fitting, ....... Chris Witor of the Triumph 2000/2.5Pi,2500 register recommends the leather ones, ..... I had one in my old 2.5Pi for years, never leaked. Cheers Rob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aldpilot Posted January 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 Thanks Rob. I have a rubber one which I ordered in error, thinking it was a leather seal. How did I Cock that up? I was surprised not to get any comments, so far, so thank you for taking the time to reply. I think I will get a leather one and give that a go, making sure I give it a good soak before fitting, as you suggest. Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
