Does anybody know of a source for the thick felt that is used way-wipers

the carriage as well as the felt used as wicks on shafts? I hate to even
call SBL for a price at this point.

I'm in the process of de-gunking and repairing my SB and I'm missing a
couple of the way-wipers. One screw was broken off, but fortunately there
was enough of a nib sticking out I was able to use a small nail-set and a
small hammer to carefully unscrew the broken screw. I'm glad I didn't have
to drill and tap!

Thanks,

I did see hard felt (SAE 20S2) on page 3015 of
online catalog. It says its "good for bearing seals, lubrication wicks and
fluid transfer components." I think I might try a 12" x 12" x 1/8" square
for $12.77 if I can't find anything better. Anybody got any opinions on
this?

Check out safety or industirla shoe stores. They sometimes have pure
felt replacment insoles which would be cheep.

There is a Campany in Canada where I have purchased felt from in the
past. They sell it by the pound and take Visa.

BRAND FELT OF CANADA LTD
2559 WHARTON GLEN
MISSISSAUGA, ON
L4X 2A8
(905) 279-6680

Also you can also check with any local bearing supply house. They sell
felt to replace wiper seals for bearing blocks. It can also be sold
under the name of Felt packing.

Hope this helps.

The stuff I have seen previously was white or light creme in color.

If you

get it I will spit the cost as I am going to need to redo mine in

the

spindle this year some time.
