PTFE Seal (Large drive unit)

[Saab95]

Guys, please tell me where i can buy an oil seal for a tesla model s rotor with a large engine (seal size 30x55x8), I will attach a photo to the post. I only know a seller on aliexpress (manufacturer Ceimin), but who can help me order an original or a very high-quality analogue?
Or maybe there is an article of the manufacturer of etmx oil seals, since there is no article for this item in the official Tesla catalog

I don’t know how I’m not in the USA now and I can’t call them myself, but in the tesla catalog I don’t see the article of this particular oil seal

I have already disassembled the motor, dried it from antifreeze and am ready to assemble and put it on the car, but due to the lack of this oil seal, I cannot continue the assembly

Maybe someone can ask tesla support about the possibility of buying this part, my friend in the USA would order to his address

The manufacturer is Chenming Seal in Ningbo, China. I found one "report" using this seal on a Drive Unit on openinverter.org here.

On AliExpress, it also shows a triple lip TTL profile option which may be better than the CTL profile (the "excluder" lip is usually there to keep debris out, but inside the Drive unit, there normally should be no debris, correct me if I am wrong). The manufacturer told me that the minimum seal thickness for the TTL is 10mm instead of the original 8mm.

Everybody check out this thread on openinverter.org containing more cases and a replacement seal search effort.

Every part is in the epc parts catalog you just have to find it. it lists everything including the parts that are on the restricted list so you just need to look harder and find a part number. You don't have to be in the USA to buy parts, go to your nearest service center with the part number and ask them to sell it to you, (unless its a restricted part then you've gotta go aftermarket)

For me the catalogue only shows the exterior parts of the Large Drive Unit. No interior parts like the rotor, interior seals, etc. Correct me if I am wrong.

Yes, they are not. It seems to me that it would be a good idea to create an appeal or petition to Tesla so that they open access to the purchase of rear-wheel drive internals.
