Top Swivel Bearing Gasket

Do I really need one?
I've been changing the swivel bearings on Red and have run into a few issues while doing it, the latest being the gasket that came with Britparts kit doesn't fit!

Can I get away with no gasket? My patience is wearing thin and I don't want to wait for MORE parts!

There shouldn't be a gasket on the top. The gasket if for the lower pin. The top pin should have a stack/single shim which is used to set the preload.
