Two babbitt washers and other real axel parts. Makes me think that bronze washers were put in place. But I have trust issues and I'm going to pull the rear apart and look for myself.
Then I came across this water pump.

So I was digging around in some boxes of parts that came with my car. Found something that gives me hope.

My dad had a tall stack of NOS babbitt thrust washers sitting on the shelf for many years.
He tossed them about ten years ago.

Kool Hastings history, there, Robert! I believe they are still in business. I’ve had other Hastings pumps but haven’t seen a 26-7 style myself. Thanks!

Neat wall hangers. I wonder if the washers will pass the drop test.
I test everyone I get for personal amusement. Maybe 1 in 50 pass. Then go in the trash.
