I have measured the pattern seal from e-bay which states in the ad. that it will fit the Yamaha and the later type Honda.
A= 28.70mm B= 15.50mm C= 8.80mm D= 13.95mm ( measured at polo internal dia)E= 25.50mm F= 4.00mm G= 23.08mm
Measurement A is the same size as the Davey seal , so I know that will press in, the issue with the polo mint being a tight fit in the impellor recess is due to the thickness of the rubber cup it sits in i.e E minus G using the old Honda cup it will fit.
If anyone has access to a new Honda seal we could compare the dimensions.
I've looked into it Reg and I would contact Aesseal and make enquires.They've got a branch at Rotherham which is not too far from.Might pay them a visit later in the year.
Hi folks. New guy here. I've had my CX for about a year now. I've been lurking in all the various CX forums from time to time.
I know this topic has been discussed much. I need to do the mech seal replacement as it seems many have had to do. So far I've just been driving it because the leak is so slow it doesn't bother much. Sometime in the next few months before the snow fly's again I'd like to give the "Shep" method a try and get her all buttoned up and no leaks.
So does the AESSEAL work for the "Shep" method? I found a local supplier and I can get it for around $15 USD.
This is the info I got from the local supplier about the seal.
Thanks! That sounds like the way to go then. If anyone else needs a US hook up PM me and I'll send you the contact info for the parts person at the distributor I found. I haven't had much luck finding the Yamaha seal locally either must be on B/O or something.
Always happy to hear about other cheap options to add to the list.
