In the process of installing using the original hubs and your kit, it became apparent that the supplied oil seal wasn't going to work. The metal shell diameter is slightly larger than the hub diameter and therefore cannot be inserted in the hub. It is also made of very thin metal that will easily deform under any kind of pressure either from a press or by tapping with a hammer. Apparently this has happened to other spitfire owners as several responded to my plea for advice by saying that I should cut the felt out of the supplied seal and glue it into the original shells. I did that and it worked but the fact remains that you are apparently selling a part that won't fit the original hubs (maybe new hubs are slightly different?). Most of us know to not throw away original parts just for this reason and garages are full of them. I've attached a couple of pictures for your information.
