Title: 1941 gasket
Post by: Greg 18360 on July 30, 2006, 07:55:37 PM
Does anybody know where I can get the gasket that goes between the rear brake backing plate and axle housing. I just got the car and it needs  a brake job and axle seals and bearings. Any thoughts on wheel cylinders and master, new or resleeve, silicone or reg. brake fluid. Thanks

Greg,
Have you tried the usual sources?  Kanters, Coopers, USA Parts Supply, the advertisers in Hemmings Motor News?  Heres one more below, they seem to specialize more in engines and transmissions but it cant hurt to ask.

Gday Greg,

The gasket should be a simple job.   Just cut out a matching piece from a piece of brown paper, and if necessary, just smear a fine layer of RVT on both sides before reinstalling.
