There is a lot of great info on this forum but I could not find an answer to the following:
I'm replacing the seals on a 2HP Whisperflow Pump which is straightforward however during disassembly we found on the motor side of the seal plate the remains of some kind of friction washer/gasket on the motor shaft. Since this is on the motor side it does not appear on the Pentair parts lists but after trawling through AO Smith parts for the motor I can't find any references to this washer/gasket at all. There was not much of it left when I split the seal plate but its definitely some kind of gasket a little thicker than copy paper and black almost like wet n dry paper. Any advice on a replacement much appreciated.
