As above.


I will buy one on-line - but meanwhile I need to make an exhaust gasket tonight.

What can I use? What will do it?

Not Gasket paper - I found that out already - it turns to ash. Dur.



thanks in advance

Someone will put me right if I'm wrong, but I would have thought a thin sheet of aluminium would be OK with some gun-gum type paste?

aha! I'm off to try that

Careful. If its not the right grade, it will melt. Dont ask me what grade you need though!!

I've got an old hot water cylinder that I've made a fair few crossflow exhaust gaskets from - copper makes for a very good gasket .

made mines from tin foil folded many times and exhaust paste it has lasted for 1K miles so far.
