Seasons greeting to all from New Zealand.
I have several questions regarding the installation of the A-6331 Main Bearings (inserted). The instructions show the use of three thrust washers A6332, is it better to use the A6334 Model A Ford Rear Main Thrust Plate & Oil Seal in brass or do I use the A6335 Aluminum equivalent? Are there any issues with dissimilar metals brass and aluminum being in contact?
Also 1/ what are your thoughts re using a Nitrile Modern Replacement Model A Ford Rear Main Oil Seal and 2/ will it work with the brass thrust plate?

Regards Paul
