Title: Where to source exhaust gasket?
Post by: Topdownman on August 5, 2017, 16:29
I am looking for a new exhaust gasket but as it is a custom made system I am not sure where I can get a suitable replacement from.

It is a diamond shaped one as in the pics below (rough dimensions shown). A quick word with the local garage and they do everything based on ordering the part by reg. no which is no use for me!

Anyone got any suggestions please?

Take a trip an independant tyre and exhaust place, they'll most likely be able to find something

I have no idea where you can get a pre made one from, but if your stuck you can buy the gasket in sheet form and make it yourself. About £6 for small sheet on e    bay

Thanks for the offer, thats very kind of you but I have ordered one off ebay for an MG180 V6 which appears to have the right dimensions so fingers crossed it will work!
