Thanks for the tips
I’ve only ever been able to find cork gasket material I’ve always made gaskets if needed with RTV that’s how I was trained so I’m glad to see some other methods.
Early Mustie1 vintage video, ah riiiight!
Who fucking sells this!?!?
Why does nobody talk about sources I can't find it online
And this is exactly why old British bike engines leak oil so badly. Multiple owners have been rounding the mating surfaces for so many years that the gasket will never hold the oil in anymore. The way to make a gasket is to draw around the part and cut it with a knife and use a hole punch for the bolt holes.
Would that method dent aluminium?
I love your posts and slowly through your old stuff
Very informative mate
What material did you use to make the gasket
Can I use manila paper for carburetor gasket? How many plies/layers?
Gasket making paper…. one more thing into my amazon cart I got from musties garage.
Thanks man… great video.
nice
That's an awesome trick dude I never would have thought of that great job mustie1. Thanks for the edumacation 🙂
If the screw holes won't cut out well enough, a one hole punch works quite well.
Light oil on surface then press material, gasket shape appears with no banging .
greaT advice! thank you!
