Thanks David/Wally/Rob
I found similar reference to 3/16 packing as I was running into difficulty. I have the first ¼ ring seated into the nut using the method described by Rob in another thread but while it seemed to be in deep enough to attempt the second ring that one was binding on the threads and I couldnt get far enough to get a bite on the threads again. Went to West Marine today and picked up some 3/16 packing. ed From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of David Knecht Sent: Monday, April 21, 2014 10:04 AM To: CnC CnC discussion list Subject: Re: Stus-List Packing size 1 1/8 shaft >From emarineinc (http://www.emarineinc.com/categories/GFO-Marine-Shaft-Packing/) Shaft Size Packing Size 3/4" 3/8" 7/8" 5/16" 1" 1/4" 1 1/8" 3/16" 1 1/4" 1/4" 1 3/8" 5/16" 1 1/2" 1/4" 1 3/4" 1/2" 2" 3/8" On Apr 20, 2014, at 8:43 PM, Wally Bryant <w...@wbryant.com> wrote: I used 3/16 on my 1-1/8 shaft.
