Title: Improved cooling gaskets - fourth round spares Post by: Harv on May 24, 2024, 10:29:29 AM Ladies and Gents,
I’ve now done four separate batches of the improved cooling gaskets. The last three times, I got inundated by people wanting a gasket after orders had closed. I am a sucker for a sob story, so on-sold from my own stash. This time I got clever, and ordered some extras for the latecomers. • The background and technical testing for the gaskets is here: http://forum.fefcholden.club/index.php?topic=26399.0. Subsequent road testing of the gaskets has shown that they work as per the testing. • If you order one of these gaskets, there is no warranty at all – non from the supplier (Gasket Solutions), and none from me. You take your own risk that the gasket does not fail and/or lead to other damage. • Your gasket(s) come sealed in plastic, packed between two pieces of 7mm ply, and wrapped fully in packing tape. I include a copy of the NASCO instruction sheet and a warning sheet (so you don’t put them in upside down Miss Jane). • The cost breakdown of the gaskets is as below: Supply of a gasket to me: $137.50 Plywood packaging to send it to you: $5.50 Postage to you: $25.00 (I know postage will vary but I don’t have the patience to bill everyone individually based on location). Harv profit: Nil Cost of a gasket to you: $168.00 • I’m happy to combine postage if you want more than one gasket, or band together as a club. I’m also happy for you to pick them up from me in Western Sydney without postage. So: If you want to pick gaskets up from me, they will cost you $137.50 each, regardless of how many you want. If you want me to mail you one gasket, it will cost you $168.00. If you want me to mail you two gaskets, it will cost you $305.50 If you want me to mail you three gaskets, it will cost you $443 If you want me to mail you four gaskets, it will cost you $580.5 If you want me to mail you five gaskets, it will cost you $718 If you want me to mail you six gaskets, it will cost you $855.50 • I’ll run out the spare gaskets by helping the stragglers, and then will have no gaskets for a while. I’ll wait until there is enough noise, and then get another batch done. I do this to help people out, and have plenty of other stuff of my own I should be doing… it could take me a year to get another batch done once the leftovers are finished. • If you want one or more gaskets, please PM a name and address to send it (them) to, and will send you payment details. Cheers, Harv (deputy apprentice gasket scraper). Title: Re: Improved cooling gaskets - fourth round spares Post by: Harv on July 10, 2024, 04:44:22 PM The spare gaskets are slowly going out the door as various people want them. All good.
One question that has been asked is how big a bore will these gaskets support. I was talking to the manufacturer about another project, and finally remembered to ask. The feedback from the gasket manufacturer is that they will support a bore size up to 81.75mm (3.219"). For a 132, this is up to 220 thou oversized. For a 138, this is up to 155 thou oversized. They will not support a full-out overbore (3.25"). Cheers, Harv Title: Re: Improved cooling gaskets - fourth round spares Post by: Jolls on July 10, 2024, 08:18:57 PM Thanks Harv,
Great to know how far we can potentially go! |
