Front wheel grease seal - Series V

Is there a locally-available grease seal from another car/truck that'll fit a Series V?

The old seal has Made in England and RTB 3867 on it. A Google search offered no help.

Couldn't find the answer with a site search.

Thanks

I just discovered the metal cone. I thought the seal was trapped in the metal cone so I tried removing it so that I could measure the seal properly. I, of course, couldn't do that. And I have the poked fingers and other scars to prove it.

The seals in the car seem original, and they were quite worn. There's grease splattered around on the wheel well and suspension pieces. Or, maybe that's the LBC automatic anti-rust system.

I called Rick at Sunbeam Specialities and got 4 seals so that I'll have spares in stock. They'll be here - some 3,000 miles - via USPS in about 2 days.
