Gasket material type/stencils wanted (afo5e

[SamDavy]

Does anybody know the gasket type used for the base of the engine barrel? I'd buy a set online but currency conversion plus shipping means cheapest one I can buy is around 70$ a set. So trying to buy material local and cut it out myself. Thanks.

You cut a hole in notebook paper and put it over the top. Trace the outer edge and port bump outs. Trim until it's right; add back using tape and paper. Trace final pattern onto commercially-available bulk gasket material (check local auto stores), cut with razor blade, and install. Whole process should take less than 1 hr.

Most of Honda gaskets, IIRC, use 0.5mm material. The automotive stuff will likely be 0.7mm, which is close enough for what you're using it for.

Thanks will give it a go.

Here's a PNG file of the Spree gaskets that I made. I drew them up in Illustrator, and cut them with my plotter out of sheet gasket material... Let me know if you need it in any other format.

Do I just print no formatting?

That link just goes to a blank site and when saving the image, it's black too.

Cheapest local I can find is 40 bucks for half a square metre oh crap. Still cheaper than a kit, and there's more material than I need so I guess it'll have to do.
