Hi guys, not sure if anyone on here can help, I MAY need a manifold gasket for a Triumph 1300cc engine urgently tomorrow (Sat 17th) as I am having to remove mine due to a bad exhaust blow from it. I have our club AGM down in Essex on Sunday and I will try to re use the old one with a smear of exhaust paste on it, if that fails I need to get a new one. I am in Northampton, is there anyone near me that has a spare on the shelf?..........Martin

Thanks I usually use them but I am now off the road until I get it fixed as my road car is over at the garage where this one is normally stored....Dooooh!
The gasket has been blowing badly and is coming apart in a couple of places, I should have gone to Jigsaw for 9am tomorrow in it and then pulled it apart, now I have to sort it to be mobile!......Martin

it might sound stupid but I have done a temp repair to a gasket using 'super steel' resin or similar and it has held for a long time(5yrs to date).
can get from most back street auto factors.try it....it might just work cap'n.
