There is one that was close, but wasn't right. I tried a few gasket manufacturers and couldn't find a match so that's why the club had the tooling made up and had 100 made. It looks like we'll be supplying Ed with these too, so safe to say he's obviously tried and failed. The one he supplied works, but the holes don't line up right.

I can confirm the ones Ed previously provided are a tight and incorrect fit. It does the job, but the gasket ends up partially damaged as it just doesn't align to the bolt holes.

Thankfully with all the effort the club goes to if I ever need to do the job again I can source a perfect fit now :D Cheers Arran!

We are always open for suggestions for any other parts anyone thinks we should stock etc.

There is another ' must have ' ( in my opinion anyway) product which is about three weeks from being ready ... Whoops I already said too much
