Avanti Base Gaskets
Seen here against a standard gasket
At long last a decent base gasket that can be cut for large transfer ports that does not fall apart.
3 thicknesses 0.4mm, 0.75mm & 1.00

I've made my own gaskets from Klingersil before - it's really good stuff because it seems to seal well without compressing too much. These should be good Ron.

I have been using Klingersil for the last 18 months & supply them with the kits, Just had a load in so I thought I would offer them out, not had any issues with them. As usual not cheap but they are quality.
Any chance that there could be a small block version ?

It's always baffled me why they make them as they do, it's not like they're saving any material by trimming so much away.OAP wrote:Avanti Base Gaskets

Small block gaskets:
Let me tell you where I stand with this, the large block gaskets I had to make for my kits, I did not have to make them I could have just supplied gaskets that would have fallen apart as soon as you looked at themand saved myself the beat part of £500, but that is not me.
So 2 people on here have asked for small block gaskets, I know there is obviously a good market for them but do people buy good quality gear????
Are they bothered????
By the response of orders I have had for the large block gaskets I would say not. As I said I had them made for the kit so the cost of the drawing and cutting tools were already spent and NOT passed on in the price of the gaskets. And they are made in the UK which is more expensive.
So do I want to produce a small block gasket? I would like too.......but. I have to draw the gasket, no big deal, pay for a cutting die, pay for the material, pay for the factory to cut them out and send them back to me.
Now how many do I order? 2? or 1,000?
and who is going to buy them?
I am quite happy to make quality stuff like MB but who is going to back it up and buy them because it seems to me that everyone is quite happy to buy CRAP and keep on buying CRAP.
Please tell me different. :wtf:

Id pay for better quality gaskets, small or large block. Going by the success of higher end products like the cyclone gearbox, the demand/anticipation for your own and MB produced clubman pipes and the sales of your own Avanti kit, proves that a good quality product, that does what it says on the tin, will prove popular.
however, until this thread I had no idea there were better quality, specifically made Avanti base gaskets ??...the word needs to be spread they exist IMO
