Wheel Seal compatability

Well, I did my wheel bearing a few nights ago but the inner seal they sent is wrong!!! BCA does not stock it and there doesn't seem to be plans to get a anymore. I was just told by another source that claimed to have it in stock that it is now on backorder

My question is... can I use any inner wheel seal?

I remember someone saying you have to use the BCA seals, but I'm not sure why since the mangled one I pulled out seems to meet in all the right places. I'm gonna stop by napa cuase I know they can get me something for tomorrow, but I'd like any input before I put it in.

Thanks.

Please ignore my spelling error

if it seals then it works.. napa should have something the same size... they can match it up if you have the messurements.. i had to rebuild the bearing on a trailer that came it to my work one time and napa had every thing i needed
