Hello,
I found a 1965 8 3/4 differential for my63 SF.  I  have it apart for new 
gaskets, seals and wheel bearings before installing  itin the car.

When I disassembled it I found only foam gaskets between  the axle tubes 
and the brake backing plates.  The only drawing I have  shows that this 
should be an embossed steel gasket.  Should I be  conderned and order the 
steel gaskets or put foam gaskets back  in?

I'm not doing anything with the center section except I replaced  the 
pinion seal.  It has an open 2.94 (per the stamped plate) in it  that 
when I have the money I'm changing to a sure grip.

Thanks  
Dennis C.
