Don Del Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Can anybody out there suggest an alternative to the Bostik 1775 impact adhesive recommended for fixing the gasket to the rocker cover? I have tried to source the Bostik product in La Paz with no luck. Cheers, Del Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 I've never used adhesive on them. The later rubber ones are better than the early cork ones in case you have access to both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Idris Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Another vote for rubber gasket On engine number one I ran a bead of silicon round with no gasket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Yup, just use the later rubber ones, so well worth it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Del Posted May 7, 2015 Author Share Posted May 7, 2015 The replacements I have are rubber so hopefully not a problem! The fact that the earlier versions were cork explains the need for adhesive.Many thanks for the help. Cheers, Del Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
