From time to time we are called on by customers to manufacture felt washers and other felt gaskets, which we can do in a variety of thicknesses. This particular customer sent ID, OD, and thickness specs and a photo of one of the felt gaskets he required in a quantity of 150 pieces. I will [...]

Felt Washers
February 6, 2010Lauson RAY Small Engine Head Gasket
January 31, 2010This gasket is from a regular customer who collects and restores old Lauson engines. He always order the same Armstrong metal clad material, and does not require a steel flame ring. Although not the preferred method, he sent a tracing by snail mail: We used that tracing to cut 3 of these from a 1.2mm [...]
Cummins Diesel Steel Sandwich Head Gasket
January 31, 2010This project was a bit different than some of the steel sandwich gaskets we have made in the past. The customer informed me that inside the gasket there was a separate steel sheet in the cylinder area. If you look at the picture of the used gasket I will insert below, the extra steel sheet [...]
Curved Dash Oldsmobile
December 23, 2009It is hard to believe but the Oldsmobile is no longer with us. My first car was a rusty $100 1960 Oldsmobile Dynamic 88. Didn’t last too much longer after I bought it, but I went on to have good experiences with a second hand 1979 Olds Cutlass and a 1984 88. I mention Olds [...]
Leyland Truck Copper Sandwich Head Gasket
December 21, 2009Leyland was a British manufacturer of trucks (lorries) and buses that is sadly no more. A regular customer in the UK specializes in supplying gaskets for industrial marques that have long gone by the wayside, with spares difficult if not impossible to find. After sending an image of an old Leyland gasket along with dimensions [...]
Stainless Steel Exhaust Gaskets
December 19, 2009I have a regular customer who is in the business of restoring obscure Japanese small trucks from the 1960s. Really small. To give you an idea of just how small they are, I have helpfully inserted an image of Gary Coleman next to a Cony truck (1 Coleman unit = 4 feet 8 inches): The [...]
Honda GX500 Head Gaskets
December 18, 2009Not sure if this is the right picture, but the customer asked for a quotation based on a gasket image he sent me and said it was for a GX500. All we usually need to supply a quotation is an image along with L x W dimensions, thickness, and quantity required. He liked the quotation [...]
Matchless Silver Hawk
December 18, 2009We get some interesting requests here at Gaskets-to-Go, and recently we had one for a very rare motorcycle, an early 1930s Matchless Silver Hawk with a V4 engine! The customer sent a scanned gasket to obtain a quotation, and then sent a paper pattern when he placed an order. We could have worked from the [...]
