Because the hub is subject to extremely high lateral loading, you don't want a thick gasket because gasket compression = cyclical loading on the nuts = loosening of the nuts = oil leaks = damaged hub bolts and worn spline hubs = wheels coming off eventually.<div><br></div><div>Also I f you notice, usually gaskets used on aluminum mating surfaces are thicker than those used on surfaces made of steel or cast iron.</div><div><br></div><div>Rather than using the moss gasket, you're better off cutting your own from some acid free paper.</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div><br></div><div>Alan<span></span></div><div><br></div><div><div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><br>
