'67 Fry Fix
No one makes the spindle/backing plate gasket, so word is to use packing foam sheets, happened to have some.
Mine were destroyed so unable to make a template. Measured center with caliper and happened to have a roll of electrical tape with the needed diameter. Cut out one, template for the other, bolts up through to hold in place, call it done.
I had pitting on both surfaces, looked like all the original gasket did was hold moisture against the parts - but my understanding is it prevents a rattling noise and it took 10 minutes.
One could probably buy the later gaskets, just circle gaskets, and I imagine they would work fine.
Too much to do all around, so I'll spend small amounts of time, and before you know it, progress.
