Wheel bearing seals?

Post by RDG »

Anyone have parts numbers for the '77 wheel bearing seals (spoke wheels). How about the '78 snowflake wheels? And/or a good source for same?

I have bought the seals in person at a BMW dealer. They were surprisingly low cost, on a par with bearing store prices IIRC.

I think these ones are an unusual size / type. - Cycleworks site has the detailsand decent quality seals , a neat little bearing greaser ,Timken bearings, shim kits and the correct two pins tool to remove and replace the cover, all at reasonable prices.
