Talk Morgan Forums Thread Like Summary - Front wheel brake cylinder gasket ?

I'm replacing the front wheel brake cylinders on my 1953 plus 4.

On removing the old units, I found that they had gasket material (indeed what looks like a proper manufactured gasket) between the brake cylinders and the back plate. Here's the evidence of what remains of these gaskets after I had removed the cylinders:




This seems a bit odd to me. I don't think I have seen gaskets in similar positions before. And they are not providing a liquid seal. They don't appear on the Girling diagram for these brakes.




Does anyone know if there should or should not be gaskets here ?

Many thanks

Thanks, Doug. I think the Landrover kit is probably for four cylinders - and there are two cylinders per brake drum. (They are not 'double headed' cylinders so only have one seal and one dust cap per cylinder). It's interesting they provide gaskets with that kit, but not for other similar looking kits. I'm going to the Beaulieu Autojumble this weekend so will have a rummage around and see if I can find out more.
