Title: Gasket-making material?
Post by: rallydiesel on December 21, 2009, 08:41:14 pm

Anybody have any leads on where I could find blank gasket sheet to make a custom gasket between turbine outlet and downpipe? I've got a wonky-flanged gt2559v with a 3 bolt turbine outlet that doesn't seem to match any common gaskets. Is it even possible to find blank gasket sheet for this? Since it's typically steel I may just need to find some tin or something.

I'll also need some more common-type material for a custom oil feed/drain fitting. Any advice?

 ???

I used 1/4" hose and brass 1/8 pipe fittings for the oil feed line.

For the gasket maybe just make it out of a sheet of aluminum.
