Hi Glen,
Three rings minimum, with joints spaced 120 degrees apart.
I think mine used four. But now I have an inner &
outer of regular shaft packing (flax & tallow)
with a magic concoction dripless compound called
SBS #3 (stuffing box seal) which is a
"self-lubricating packing that requires no
sealing water". It looks like graphite and Teflon
fibres with white grease, tallow and a some small lead balls.
I can't remember where I got it... maybe a salesman?
Cheers, Russ
Sweet 35 mk-1

âHello everyone,
I have a c&c 35 mk I and am repacking my
stuffing box. I have the original A4 with the original shaft
I dug 2 loops of flax out of the female nut.
Can someone advise if they have two or three
loops of flax. Recommendations on type of flax is also appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
