Some time ago there was an item here on the Bucker pages featuring a company called Gaskets to Go. Well, I used their service to make replacement leather covers for Bucker bearings. I could not have been more pleased with their work. The price was very reasonable and the turn around time wasn't bad either.
Basically, you give them a drawing or some dimensions and they go to work. For the leather covers, you use:
Material - Leather
OD - 19 mm
ID - 10.25 mm
Thickness - 1.2 - 1.5 mm
Here is a picture showing the old, greasy covers and the new ones from Gaskets to Go.
Gaskets-To-Go® is a custom gasket manufacturer, with NO tooling or set-up charges and NO minimum order size for most gaskets, and FREE on-line quotations. No order is too small! We can also help you with your molded/extruded rubber and spring & small fastener requirements.
