    help build a water seal drive shaft

    I am following this video to build a water seal drive shaft https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjuMFJOgMJU
    but i can't find the parts , i went to the Precision associate website but there they have other companies listed and not the parts themselves.
    also the author is not mentioning the ID/OD of the bushes .
    I need the ID/OD of hollow tube , flange bush the cup seal and the drive shaft dia and if possible one shop where i can buy all these .

    any help greatly appreciated

    Your timing is great...... I believe Bob has just started to make complete setups of the seals - check out https://www.rc-submarine.com/props-bearings-seals
    If you can cut, drill, saw, hit things and swear a lot, you're well on the way to building a working model sub.

      Try the McMaster-Carr catalog. That's were I get most of my stuff.

            hi Rob
            can you give me the measurements oif the bush, tube and cup seal please ? i am confused on how to select these based on Bob's video . e.g if the tube inside dia is 1/8 inch then the bushing OD should be little less than that right?
            so if you can give me these three parts from them with the part number i will be grateful
