There should just be a seal that presses into the back of the hub once you've packed the inner bearing with grease.

Ok thanks.
It looked like a gasket behind the backing plate when I removed it.

Ye, they do have one but I can't imagine why. It really doesn't do anything. The seal is what keeps the grease in the bearing and the contaminants out of it.

On the 69-70 disc brake set-ups there is a gasket between the backing plate and the spindle. I looked all over for them, then found Corvettes use the same gasket, so sourced a pair from the local Corvette place. I can get you the part # later tonight.

Corvette America part # 33369. "63-82 Front Brake Splash Shield Gaskets". They were about $10 for a pair at Western Corvette in Calgary.

Get some gasket material from Carquest. Cut your own out, that an easy one to do.
Ok so what started out as front brakes on my 65 Parisienne has turned into bearings, seals etc.
The problem I have is the seal and or gasket that should be at the front backing plate and spindle were badly worn.
Any help identifying/finding these parts would be appreciated.
The pic is of what I should have but dont any longer.
Thanks, Ron
