P 42.7 in my '1980 - '85 and 1980 - 91 Bentleys basically have the same info. The former with photo type image of the axle, does not show the gasket. The latter with hand drawn type image, does show the gasket. I did not find that gasket or remnants in either my '81 or '88 Canadian Westfalias. Neil.
