Re: 1934 Lanchester 15/18 AXM 475

Antony, Are you able to correct your typo in the heading? It’s a 15/18 not 15/80. Thanks. Although I’m no longer the Registrar for the model, I can confirm that this car is known to the DLOC.

Re: Rear hub oil seal.

Hi, I did the same job on my 1933 Lanchester 15/18 several years ago. The hub seals threads were different on each side of the car. They corresponded with the direction of the wheel nuts. Do you have a parts book for your car. This would be a good place to confirm if the units were supplied in pairs...
