Oil pump

[hallsie]

Is there something special about the oil pump remote set up on the Rover V8?

Im struggling to find a replacement seal for the sandwich plate, both inner and outer,.
tried rimmers and the usual suspects, even tried Mocal who kindly sent me 3 FREE gaskets to try, excellent customer service! but alas still not correct!

I had an issue with the oil pump during the rebuild. I have ended up with a Pace B.G. single stage.

Stu,

Did you ever manage to find a source for the correct gaskets?

I tried to track a replacement down about 18 months ago and couldn't find one so made my own from a section of 3mm industrial gasket sheet. I used the original gasket as a template. Not a drop has leaked out since.

Sounds like a good idea, its just a fiddly shape with those 4 (?)elongated holes. Mines not leaking, but if I have to take the sandwich plate off again at some point, might as well try to have a replacement available.

Exactly what I did Keith, ordered a load of gasket material from a fella on ebay, including some free stuff, and the free bits were just righ!

It's the same as the oil filter seal... or at least on was on the Mann filter I bought - W930/20.

Next time I change the oil filter I'll hang onto the filter seal...

One side is the same, the other is the funny gasket with 4 holes.
