Where can I get some 65mm inside diameter 3 bolt gaskets from? Most places stock the 60mm not the 65mm.
Thanks Paul

most motor factors. If they don't have them in stock, usually only takes a couple of hours to get them.

I don't know if you can find them over there, but the three-bolt exhaust gaskets made out of soft copper seem to work very well for us, and last a long, long time. I guess if you were feeling industrious, you could buy a piece of copper sheet and cut out the gaskets that you need...

Havn't seen those for years! You use to be able to get head gaskets made in copper and re-use them. might be a bit pricy now copper is at an all time high. Will try some other motorfactors
Thanks guys

They could supply ones for 2 1/4" pipes (60mm) but couldn't find any of the larger 2 1/2" (65mm), we exchanged a couple of phone calls and even faxed images of what I was after and they tried to resolve but nothing doing so good effort but no result.

Maybe I should add that of the three joints I've taken apart only one had a gasket fitted so whether they are worth it I don't know!!!

iff i remember right you can modify the gasket of a 1998 transit van its the first one after the manifold cost about 2 quid at the local motor factors take your old one in to lay over it
