Throw gasket in the trash. Not used on the Model A.



The torque tube prevents the double bearing race from moving. By adding in the gasket you now give it room to move. You need to be sure you have removed all nicks and burrs so the two parts sit tight.

A shim may be required if by some odd chance you have to put a shim at the other end of the race to get the gear pattern proper. Then you would have to shim the tube the same distance.
