So my 56 kh had a 4” over 70-72 front end on it when I got it and I am attempting to put together a correct looking k front end. I got the correct sliders and had new bushings installed, had them re-chromed, and got new tubes. I am using the later style internals, and my dad had the idea to get an automotive seal of the correct size and we modified it to work as a seal. I also got boots and a boot hardware kit.
My question is in reference to the boot install kit. My kit came with the upper retaining disc, the upper fork boot retainer, the 2 vent screws, and 2 felt washers. I saw another kit on j&p that also came with paper gaskets that I don’t have.
So my first question is do I need the paper gaskets that I believe go between the upper retaining disc and the upper boot retainer?
And where do the felt washers go? None that I have seen have holes in them which leads me to believe they go under the upper fork boot retainer, after they are bolted to the lower tree, and before you stretch the boot over.
