My 56 Coronets Powerflite is currently being rebuilt. The kit arrived without the two torque converter reaction shaft seals and the company says they are no longer available to them in a note on their website. Apparently it's a 56 only issue because the man doing the work had a set from a slightly newer powerflite that did not fit.My originals were broken. He has one more source but if that doesn't pan out... Have any of you run in to this issue and,if so, did you find a usable substitute?

If you can identify the parts by number and name from the diagram and list below, I can find the PN for you (if you don't have it). And do a quick search for that part. (I have a NOS parts guy local to me).

On your exploded view the two rings are #20. According to Fatsco where the kit came from 56s are a different size than other years which I guess is why they cant get them. Marvin Hughes, who is doing the rebuild, tried a set from a powerflite a year or so newer with no luck. If you and your local guy can help that would be great. Thankyou.

Item 20 in the diagram leads to a reference to Section 21-129-13 which leads to the PN 1312 746. Searching with Google on "1312746 ring" (no space) gets me an eBay find and an additional pdf that might be useful.
