Felt washers with sealed bearings?

I have fitted sealed bearings in my OSSA MAR mk3 front wheel. Do I need to get felt washers for when I fit the wheel back into the forks? If so where can I get them from? Note: This is a restoration I'm doing and there were no felt washers when I took the wheel apart.

Hi I have just replaced the front wheel bearings on my 1972 mark 1 MAR. It had felt washers in tin housings, I decided to replace the felt & tin with lip seals, as I believe these felt seals leaked water into the bearings. You need 2 one on the brake side & one on the other side, if you take your wheel to a bearing supplier they will measure it & supply the correct seals. Next time I have the front wheel out I'll check the seal number.
