Hey guys, getting towards the halfway point on my restoration, trying to wrap everything up and get it all ready for re assembly, but I cant find a couple seals for the diff.

Its leaking all the gear oil into the drive shaft housing, so I'm assuming it needs either the pinion flange seal, or the seal thats on the drive shaft. I was just going to replace both but, they're discontinued and I cant find them anywhere else?? Am i going to have to hunt around for a similar seal and make it work? Or is there somewhere I can get these that i'm missing. I can get the axle bearings and seals easy from eBay, not these other ones. Thanks!

EDIT: Just found these upon searching for a while longer. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Honda-ATC200ES-ATC-200ES-84-Differential-Bearings-Seals-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem5d2dbc7b3dQQitemZ40019 9285565QQptZMotorsQ5fATVQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories

sounds like what i need, Bit pricey but i guess i have to take the hit, Anything to get my work horse together! sick of borrowing my cousins 660 Grizzly :P

Price isn't so bad.
On the 250sx/es,the input shaft seal cost is 50$ at my honda dealer,the Allball kit with ALL seal and bearing for the gearbox is 60$.....

Yea I figure it's a small price to pay for something I'll be able to ride for years to come.
