Franklinguy Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Just above the king pins on series 9 and series 10 Franklins, there is supposed to be a gasket that keeps lubricant intended for the king pins from leaking out. I found that these are missing on my series 10-B. I want to find or make new ones. It would not be hard to cut new paper gaskets. The original Franklin drawing 21020 says that the material should be "COPPER - ASBESTOS". This seems like a high temperature material and this part is not exposed to high temperatures. Also, it is probably not available. What is the best material to use to make replacement gaskets.Thanks,Frank Pennypacker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Franklinguy Posted May 1, 2015 Author Share Posted May 1, 2015 Thank You Dean. I will try to buy these on Ebay, the bidding does not close until early Sunday morning. There are 6 of them and I only need 2. If I get them I will offer the other 4 to other HHFC members.I still have the mystery of why these are like exhaust manifold gaskets when they are not exposed to high temperatures. Maybe somebody can tell me why.Frank Pennypacker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
