Good afternoon all.

I have been looking online at what's best to seal a transfer box and it seems a bit grey. Some suggest using 'paper' gaskets, some suggest paper gaskets and silicone, others just say silicone...

I have two different LT230s, one I'm overhauling and one temporary. Both have a black silicone gasket and no paper gaskets.

What does everyone suggest, and will the below gasket sealant be ok?

Thank you all

Two each their own, but I still like old method of paper gasket smeared with grease. Next time something gets opened up someone will not be struggling to clean off silicone like I recently did with 230 I sorted last year.
If you do use silicone do not go daft with the amount used, stuff squeezed on the outside is messy but on the inside could get into oilways.
 
I used paper gaskets and Hylomar Blue when I did mine along with a full fastener set from Ashcroft.
