What material to use to make an exhaust gasket?
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
D

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?
It looks like the Midget is winning at the moment......

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

Hi Claire,
I'll try copper if the ally doesn't do it.
Btw it's on a moped - not the crossflow!
Touch wood. the crossflow is fine. Hope so - it's taking me to Holland tomorrow...
(or bust)
best
Dave
