Thanks,

The PO had a Zinc on the shaft infront of the packing gland, I did not want something that soft spinning inside the engine compartment. (Just presonal problem being a mechinical engineer). I have used these on other equipement and feel better about it taking a side load than the zinc if the PSS set screws or engine flange ever let go.
