Exhaust gaskets
 

Ok I know that this is going to sound silly, but I need to get my Cucciolo back up and running for an event early this summer.

We pulled it out of the shed and confirmed spark and compression, but the carb is gummed up and will need to be stripped and cleaned ultrasonically.

However what is apparent is that the exhaust seal into the head has rotted away!

Does anyone know where one might find a supplier of exhaust seals, I already know that it doesn't come in a gasket kit! It looks like it is about the 25mm OD size. I checked the parts manual and it looks as if I want the compressable copper sort with "asbestos" up the middle.

Just make one from sheet copper and anneal it.

Old school eh Phil. I bet an apprentice today wouldn't know that.

Bonneville head gaskets, lasted forever. :D

Phil,

That was always going to be the fall back position!

I rember doing that and even making head gaskets formy big bore 400/4

Later years I just used old copper Vacuum gaskets

A vacuum made of copper. Bet that took some polishing. :lol:
