Hybrid_From_Hell Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 I need a few Exhaust gaskets for the 90 V8 - the ones that go between the Exhaust Manifold and the Head exit ports Now the problem, being the Eales is massively ported and has the exhaust Dakar Manifolds matching the gaskets in between are not only a tad special but MUCH MUCH Bigger than anything off the shelf, TVR stuff included. I could buy a set from, JED but was thinking it would be handy to make my own, a simple bit of tooling and hey ho, but - where on earth can you get that exhaust gasket greasey cardboardy aspestosey (although its not I know ) type Exhaust gasket paper from ? If I remember is quite thick - about 2mm ish and grey greasey feel to it ? Any thoughts as to where from ? Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Nige, there is (was) a company on the medway city estate in Kent, that manufactures gasket papers of all sortd of sizes. I have no idea of their name I am afraid, but they were quite happy for me to go and nab some (fairly sizeable) offcuts. i am sure the would supply direct. I'll see if i can find the name out for you... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRecklessEngineer Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Shreddies / Cornflakes packets...? Don't be silly. You will need something tough like Shredded Wheat, or Scots Porridge Oats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Henson Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Couldn't you use sheet copper or alloy? A few gaskets are made from these materials still nowadays, particularly alloy. Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
