Hi chaps, looking for some help regarding the three S3 Plenum gaskets .
Does anyone know where I can pick them up on their own rather than having to buy the full top end set . eBay has the full sets but not the individual ones and BGA , Burton and Gaskets for classics don't have them at all .
Alternatively if anyone has spares they would like to part with for beer tokens please let me know.
Cheers all.

These one?



Have you spoken to Gaskets for Classics? I sure I've had a top end set from them that came with three plenum gaskets but cars with the alloy fuel rail need six. A quick phone call and they popped me three in the post.


I was taught how to make gaskets using a small ball peen hammer and a cereal box, this guy prefers a knife wink ........ making a gasket

Cheers for the reply Mike , yes they are the ones , I do make my own too , I have an excellent Snap On gasket punch set but to be honest I can't be bothered with these ones unless I really have to .
Cheers for the nod to Gaskets for classics, I'll give them a call in the morning.

If you have to make your own gaskets but don't fancy using cereal packet cardboard, Klingerit or Flexoid sheet gasket material is available online via fleabay, or that big rIver in South America or RS Online.

Just search for gasket sheet.
