  WHAT IS THE PURPOSE  of the felt gasket.....on the seal kits....is it to stop the metal plates from cutting into the rubber seals ?????

Your guess is a good one for sure. Another thought is that the felt keeps a small amount of lubrication present and acts as a secondary water seal.

Are you thinking of running with out it?

Hope that helps.
