Hi all,
When I put the Ashcroft drive flanges on , They came with some Nice thick gaskets .

But now that Iv done another front diff [bighmmm] I will need to redo them , I bought some bearmach ones , But they are made from very thin paper .....Will they be ok for oil filled hubs ? Should I buy a different brand ? If so .....Any idea what brand Ashcroft use ?

Strange that hat the other bearmach gaskets I bought where thicker
thanks
Luke

I don’t even use gaskets, I use loctite gasket eliminator.

Really good.

It's my favourite gasket maker.
Much better than silicon IMO.

Having said that, I do like the paper flange gaskets and they work really well with oil lubed hubs.
