Nice. Nothing wrong with making them from stock.
At some point I will get some made if I can see who Fitch was ordering from. Or just do it myself.

Good idea to use a sealed bearing. For the shaft seals I like to use wiper seals. Kanter gives you plain ones. Aux wiper types are like $2 more apiece...
I'm 25, by the way. Yeah, there are multiple Ultramatic shops leaving the game. Apparently Aldrich is looking to retire, etc. He is only I think 48 so I'm not sure why he's going. Most of the rest are really at retirement age, and some like Fitch and that guy in Missouri have been done for some years now. So only a matter of time and not that long. Only 5 years from now the whole landscape will be quite different, and not just Ultras.

This is part of the reason I'm trying to learn as much as I can right now. If possible I would like to do most everything myself, and potentially help other people get their Packards back on the road. Problem is I started with no knowledge of how any of these old cars worked, so I'm starting from ground zero. Lots to learn.
