48-52 hub question

I am restoring a set of F1 spindles and hubs. I set the bearing races in the hubs and packed the inner bearing and installed the seal. I did a test fit on the bench and am worried I set the seal too far. I installed the seal until it bottomed out and I appear to have good contact on the spindle shoulder to the seal as is indicative of the grease ring. Thoughts?

JB

As long as it rides on that surface it is fine. Even better if it misses a groove worn in from an old seal. JMHO
