Are A/C compressor seals still available from the dealers, or anywhere else? I fancy having a go at stripping it down and curing a leak from the front shaft seal. Following all the safety precautions of course.

Thanks for any reply.

Harrison R4 seals should still be available. IIRc, the front one is a fluroelastomer seal, pretty common dimensions.

 

Thanks Vader.
The plot thickens. I slid the compressor off it's mounting point and found this. Notice the green oil seeping it's way down and under. I like a good challenge!

Okay, found this for sale, but the serial number is different. Mine is 1131743. This one is 1134343. It looks the same, but is it?
The gentleman selling it says it is off a Chevy truck, but doesn't know which one or which year!

Can anyone throw any light on this?

Looks like a smaller pulley.

 

Pulley looks the same to me. I don' t know why it would work.

Hey.. if the pulley is smaller, that may just be a good thing.

 

Suprisingly, I found a post that mentions replacing the condensor from a truck. It may do pretty good. That is, if I don't ****** it up from ebay before you do!
