Old type stuffing box parts

[o2n7dcolin]

I am using the origional stuffing box setup from the 021 gasoline
engine installation. Is there somewhere in Canada or the US that
sells parts for this? I'm looking for what is called the "hose" the
main rubber piece, #19 on the drawing and the bushings #24. All is
working ok, its just that the rubber must now be quite old and dont
want to wait till it is leaking. How would these parts compare to a
complete new type stuffing box such as the PSS Shaft Seal, price wise
i wonder? Colin...

Hi,

For all the Vega owners who have the old gas engines 021, 022. There
is a place in Florida USA that has parts for these engines available
or can get them. Their Name and address is:

Auto Marine Engineers

3464 N.W.N. River Drive Miami Florida.

Ph # 1-305-635-2401.

I needed a water pump seal and gasket and they had both. Inquired as
to the extent of their part inventory for the Vega engines and was
told if they don't have it in stock, they can get it if necessary
from Sweden. They are a Albin representive here in the USA I was
told. Hope this information may help someone out of a jam.

Regards

Walt.
