Hi
I have a pair of the chrome Selectro FWH on my 72 SWB SW and one of them has a cracked but useable chrome casing but more importantly the spring that pushes on the outer splined ring has a broken arm.
These are quite esoteric looking springs and I cannot find anyone on the web selling repair kits for these (are they US). Most of the time I will use it for local roads and gentle green lanes - so often in 2WD but need 4WD option, petrol consumption is supposed to be lower (?) in 2WD.
Anyone have link to spares for these, or just have x1 working hub outer part for sale?
TIA

Not sure it will impact mpg too much, just a bit more wear on moving parts

Mine have never worked. The off side return spring has a few of the retaining tags missing. I only keep them for standing on when attempting a reverse half pike back flip to bleed the fuel pump.

Hi google lrworkhop.com they sell seal kits for your hubs about £37. Found them from a search for selectrospares

Thanks, I found that link but there does not appear to be anything on offer at the moment.

Sorry about that neikeel, turns out to be a very old page link plus the actual picture of item was actually for AVM hubs.
