Gasket question

[1freaky1]

I have been trying to find out what the thickness is for the outer gasket(axle flange) on a 9" anyone have any ideas? Also wondering what material it is made from, at work we got this new (at least to us) white plastic material for making gaskets out of any of you ever see it before or know what uses it has i.e. fuel, oils, hydros?

Sean I think your asking about the gasket on the outer cover that has 4 bolts holding it to the backing plate? If you have some gasket material you could go by that thickness. I cant tell you off hand what it is, I have a couple of them covers in my box but no gaskets on them. :eek:

Yes it is the ones circled in RED in this diagram.

Your diagram shows two gaskets-looks like both would have to go in the same place? The Haynes manual looks like only one gasket there. IIRC that is a heavy paper-type gasket, which would be several (10-12?) thousandths thick.

Good catch on that double gasket, I did not even notice it.
