MG MGA - Gearbox rear oil seal, mid 1500

My gearbox is the middle 1500 type which has an internal rear seal. Is this seal just a felt seal and if so, is there a suitable rubber seal that could be used instead?

This is about the earlier gearbox but should answer your question. http://www.mgaguru.com/mgtech/gearbox/gt111.htm
From the Moss website catalog http://www.mossmotors.com/Shop/ViewProducts.aspx?PlateIndexID=29221
22 120-400 $9.60 SEAL, thin steel/rubber, internal

1500 from (c)20753 to end of "GB" engine

DONT order the part by part number from the Moss catalogue - the part number is wrong and you will get the incorrect early seal. (been there twice...)

The later 1500 seal is a standard rubber oil seal and should be available from any good supplier. It's not felt.
