DIY gasket material?
|
I have used cornflake packets in the past to make gaskets but I don't eat
cereal and SWMBO's muesli come in plastic bags so I have no guaranteed
source. I know that it used to be possible to buy sheets of gasket paper.
Anyone know where these might be available or any other good ideas for DIY
|
I use RTV silicon for all gaskets (apart from head & exhaust gaskets,
obviously).

gaskets?

RS used to do a variety of gasket papers, I believe. Dunno if they
sell that kind of thing to the Great Unwashed, though.
|
RS will now sell to non account holders if you buy online. I've also had
success just turning up and paying cash over the counter.

My little independent motor factor up the road keeps sheets of gasket
material. If you're stuck, I'll stick one in the post.

Ebay and/or your Yellow pages for motor factors/motor engineers.
I got a 2 metre long.0.8mm thick 1mtr wide for about £6.Excellent
stuff :)

I get mione from Frank Edwards in Bolton but he's VERY old school and his
shop is full of stuff, lacing only one thing. A computer. I'm not sure if he
actually knows what one is, so it's not worth checking web-search for him. He'll
be in Yellow Pages though I would think.
Anyway, gasket material IS still available, so a little hunting round should
sort you out.
