Building up my rear brakes on a 51' crashbox there is one thing I don't understand...
On disassembly there were paper gaskets in between the backing plates and the wheel bearing covers. By using searchbutton I found out...some say paper gaskets are not necessary, others say they are.
So should I reassemble it without the paper gaskets? Or maybe just use some fluid gasket stuff?

No paper, fluid gasket on both sides of the backingplate.

Thanks Bengt Very Happy that's what I'll do....but still thinking about these gaskets when I dissambled my brakes, maybe some aftermarked stuff? Anyway, with some fluid gasket on both sides it should be done.
