Lip seal for Saginaw offset box?

What part are you talking about. What is an offset box?

I'm looking for a modern lip type replacement for the original felt Pitman shaft seal... Saginaw offset = the trade name for the early integral power steering setup

I don't think that original seals are to be had. I don't know what the rebuilder uses but in my case, Jeff Rice (who at the time worked for Chicago Rawhide), supplied me with a seal and one of those thangs you put on the shaft.. Speedy sleeve I think.

The unit remains out of the car 'cause I could not get a new interior boot for the column but no I believe that SI has a repop so it may be going back in.

Does anyone have exact dim's for the shaft and bore? I can tear down my "extra" box to find out but I won't be able to get to it until Saturday at the earliest. I did find through a search of the 56J group two Chicago Rawhide numbers; 11733 which crosses to a National 9487 and a CR

12208 which appears to have no National equivalent. Would like to double check the dims. with the info on CR's web site as according to my FLAPS they have no stock in store, and no stock in their warehouse of the 9487 and it would have to be special ordered, non-refundable, and I would have to pay shipping charges as well. I guess this is not a common seal.

thanks,
