What size packing material for my 1923 Hudson transmission seals

Just finished installing a rebuilt clutch for my 1923 Super Six and before I reinstall the transmission I thought I would try to stop the leaks on both ends and where the drive shaft enters the rear end. Found that there are no gaskets but packing material. Does anyone know the size of the packing cord that I should use?

    Was originally felt washers.

    If they were felt washers where do I get them and what sizes? Will the packing material work as a substitute if we can't find the washers? Looking at the transmission I can't imagine getting a felt washer in there without taking everything apart.

    Hello Geoff,

    Was able to find the felt washers from Olson's Gaskets in Washington State. He had the technical specs on all of them and is able to make whatever we need. He also has the packing material in all sizes. If anyone else has a need their phone number is 360-871-1207. E-mail address www.olsonsgaskets.com
