Gaskets



I have a dremel tool, and I hear there is a way to make some decent
gaskets. What material do you make these out of? And what is the best
way it can be done? I need a gasket for my carb boots and air boxes. I
was thinking of copper tin and/or rubber? But then again I have the
gasoline factor. I will need a product that will last a while.
Just go to Ace Hardware and ask a sales drone. The have everything from
hightemp thin gasket material to 1/8" cork sheets. It is pretty much a
lifetime supply for your average home mechanic since they come in
12"X36" sheets, all less then $5.

They also have O-rings if you want to go that route.

I have a set of punches for poking the bolt holes through but I guess
you could use a Dremel if you are carefull.
What sort of bike is this?

None of the bikes that I'm familiar with (not a huge variety,
admittedly) use a separate gasket in the airbox or with the carb boots.
