thanks for that! I’ll check that out. I assume that’s a common gasket that’s easy to get?

@johnwesley, Getting Back

The simplest solution would be to use this Blank-off Plate/Shim# 43837-00 (see the Bay link below). It's really intended for the Brake Rotor side so you may have to enlarge the holes for 7/16" Pulley bolts. I would use a touch of sealant between the plate and hub mtg surface.

What brake rotor are you using? ... the original equip?

** If you end up getting that blank-off plate, I'm really interested in the Hole Size as supplied
