E-27 shaft packing material size

I hate to beat a dead horse on this topic but I have searched and cannot find any info on the correct packing material size. I need to repack the shaft this spring. The PO left some packing material but it is 2 different sizes. I have read the dangers of using the wrong size material - too much water versus too much heat. Help!! :confused:
PS I have a 1971 E-27 with the original A4.

I would suggest making sure you have enough of both sizes to do the job. Once you get the gland apart you can find out for sure what the right size is, but you don't want to go shopping for flax with water gushing into the boat.
