I just took apart the rear end I bought last weekend so that I can 
install new gaskets and seals.  When I removed the brake backing plates, 
I found a 0.016" metal shim between each backing plate and the axle 
housing.  Are they shims to properly adjust axle shaft end play, or are 
they merely gaskets, as noted in some parts manuals?  If they are 
gaskets, where can I order some new ones, because I haven't found a 
source yet?  

Second question - Year One shows a round tag stating to use limited slip 
lube.  Mine doesn't have this tag.  Does  it mount under the retaining 
nut on the large machined boss above the fill plug on the passenger 
side?
