    I am converting my 1970 Maverick to Disc Brakes using parts from a 1976 Comet. Does anyone know a source for the gaskets that go between the spindle and the backing plate? I'll get some gasket material and fabricate some myself if I have to, but was hoping to avoid that.

    I made mine from dense packing foam sheet. But you might be able to purchase them from www.discbrakeswap.com
