Where can I get an exhaust Gasket?

[Enoch]

Hi Folks, Just in to making my exhaust. I have the DOHC engine, I am using the standard manifold and have cut down the 2 in to 1 pipe. I need the gasket that goes between the two but can't find one. I have tried ebay and various other sources but drawn a blank. Anyone got any ideas? Would I get away with jointing compound?
Thanks in advance,
Enoch

How about this Enoch

Gasket set (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ford-sierra-granny-2-0-dohc-head-gasket-set-payen-dx550-/270575473041?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3eff8e1191)
Worth a thought as you are likely to pay at least a tenner if they can be sourced sepperately :rolleyes:

Buy the set .... Nick the exhaust gaskets & put the rest in your store as an almost complete set ;)

Or Try this guy on Ebay

The Gasket shop (http://stores.ebay.co.uk/THE-GASKET-SHOP)

He has helped me find some really obscure stuff over the last few years :)

I beleive that the ehxaust manifold has two small gaskets, if all else fails, make a couple out of some thin copper sheet & smear a tiny bit of exhaust paste over either side.
Bolt the little devil up & that should at least top it blowing & would be better than now't :)

Have you tried you local ford dealer? you should still be able to get one from there or a local exhaust fitting centre should be able to order you one up.

HTH BV:)

Can you not buy a sheet of gasket material and make one then if you bugger it up you would have enough to make another one:confused: We do this at work a lot.(make them that is not bugger them up :p )

Thanks for the replies chaps, I think I will try the local exhaust centre first, I have some gasket material but I don't think it would take the heat from an exhaust manifold. I like the idea of making one from copper but will keep that as a plan b due to the time it would take to get it right.
Thanks again, happy building.
Enoch.
PS fitting my tank today and maybe the exhaust, will see how I get on.
