I have a goldstar looking 54 b33 , I'm working on the primary cover this weekend, oil leaks ! Mine all ready has a neoprene seal but that useless felt is a wick , I am going to machine a protruding lip to help draining oil drip over the sliding seal plate , and probably weld it on in a few places , as I have some other welding repairs to do on the inner cover as well . Id be happy with a drip , but I have puddles .. cheers
How about replacing the big felt washer with a thin closed-cell plastic wrap type material? White stuff like they use to wrap things when shipping them? One or two layers. Stuff they didn't have back in the 50's. Just a thought. I've never done it. Might be an interesting experiment.

@@fjdelmonte I might have a look , thickness is critical for movement and seal. Cheers .
I had the 'A10' and the 'A7'
