hey all,

any ideas how to make a gasket that goes from the carby to intake manifold?
it needs to be heast resistant and fuel resistant, and flamin sealable so i dont get water in everything again


thanks

Andrew

Get yourself some gasket material, or if your a cheapskate the side of a cereal box (dont laugh it works). Take the flat bottom of the carb, clean it and then apply a thin coat of grease. Use it like a stamp and press it firmly down on the corn flakes box errr gasket material, making sure it doesnt slip sideways. Take the carb off carefully and trace the shape with a pencil. Check it against the carb,wipe off the grease and then you just cut her out with a pair of small scissors.

Tada, houston, we have a gasket :D

Apply using a thin smear of silastic to both sides. :)

comes in a tube and its blue :)

is there any reason you dont just use silastic?

you can buy various thickness gasket paper from auto suppliers some times, its not a carried item now days. then just cut it with a stanley knife and punch out bolt holes with a bit of pipe. you can buy gasket punch kits, but i just use vadious bits of golf shaft i have cut and sharpened up.

Wheres the fun in that :D

never use silastic anyware near a carby or fuel system
fuel eats it and it ends up like jelly blocking anything it can

only use hilomola <---spelling? its in a spray can
or permitex

Did you hean Hylomar?

Thats sound advice, that would be better but it can be rather pricey (worth it but). Its made under licence from rolls royce :D

so is selly's roofing silicon not gonna work?
cos ive already done it... it works i hope

man its getting tiring fixing all this stuff. its been in my driveway for 3 months now, what a waste of rego (and mums lawn....petrol, degreaser, coolant, oil,)
