The Gaskets-to-Go Custom Gaskets Blog

Prior to making the Rolls Royce Merlin rocker cover gaskets just profiled below, the same museum asked us to make a batch of copper/asbestos sandwich exhaust gasket for a German Fieseler Fi 156 Storch, pictured below. I will paste a link to a Wikipedia entry for that aircraft for those wishing to learn more:

We were able to provide them with a quotation after they sent an image of the gasket with dimensions. They were happy with the quotation so they sent a couple of old gaskets to us via priority mail.

I should mention for our US customers that Priority Mail works very well, and there are several flat rate package or envelope sizes that are pretty reasonably priced. Packages can be traced via the web and usually arrive here within one week. OK, back to the gaskets. You can see our reproduction on the right, with the bore and bolt holes sealed per the original. We use 0.3mm copper sheet for these types of gaskets.
