1930 Sport coupe with hydraulic brakes
 

I have a 1930 sport coupe with hydraulic brakes and I believe it has a 1939 backing plate. There is a gasket on the rear hub that I have not been able to find from any of the vendors so don’t know if it is necessary. The first photo I attached shows it in its normal position and the second photo I moved it up so you can see it better. Does anyone know if they are available or if they are needed??

Gasket? It looks a lot like the inner race of the inner wheel bearing.

Wasn’t sure what to call it. The back is metal with rubber attached to it.

That might be an extra seal that was added because the seal inside of the axle housing was leaking.

Dave: there a only two seals on the axle side: one is in the hub that holds the grease in behind the roller bearing and that has a snap ring to hold it in place: the other is behind the axle nut washer to seal outer end of the axle: look at any parts diagram for the rear hub assembly: i do not believe that part belongs there: better check all axles to make sure they are put together correctly: hope this helps: sk
