I need to replace the front wheel cylinders on my twin leading system.

 

I have new cylinders, but no new Gaskets.  Gaskets are two weeks away.
What is the purpose of the gasket, and can I go ahead and fit without them? ( no old ones on their either )

I don't fit the gaskets, i just smear the back of the wheel cylinders(keep the plastic caps on the nipple and pipe threads) with copper grease, also smear the pistons where the shoes sit

Thanks... I'll go ahead then

What material is used...cork/paper.....?

[cal844]

The aftermarket cylinders I fitted had paper gaskets

Paper. Fel-Pro sells a package that contains various materials and thicknesses
