8 3/4 Differential Question

["Dennis C." <dennis.2914@xxxxxxxxx>]

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.
