Seal behind the backing plate

[live4theking]

Okay guys I pulled the front backing plate so that I could remove my wheel cylinders. What in the world is the name for the seal that goes between the backing plate and the knuckle?

I'd like to try to find this so I can start putting things back together tomorrow evening.

Thanks

I just use some RTV silicone.

I cut thin slices from one of those water noodles.

Alan,
Thanks for the links.

Stan & Brian,
Thanks for the suggestions.

I ran into a couple of snags that are going to slow me down so I'm going to order them.

Serious? That's a great idea, but, seriously? This works?

Yes, that wasn't a joke. I did that. And it worked.
( Use the jumbo noodles, not the dollar store ones)

this junk is useless. just use some silicone just make sure the area is clean and flat. these comp. make thous. of $ selling this useless junk. save your money and spend it on something you need and time you could be driving you ride unless you just like to keep it in your garage to look at and brag you own a mopar. i drive my mopars every day rain or shine. done so for 37 plus yrs. and i've always had a nice mopar because people get to see me driving them not coming over to my house to see them setting in my garage

A pair of these exact reproduction seals cost less then a tube of silicone, which I won't use for anything.

They cost me less than $5 and if that keeps a guy in business that makes other things for our cars that we can not find another way around I'll support him.

Hi guys, iam putting my front end back together and i mounted the backing plates without that gasket, is that very important ? Also can i just put silicone in the groove around it ? I would order the gaskets but i hate to take the plates back off again. Any advice would be helpfull, thanks.
