Hi Guys

Not sure if this is the right place but I'm trying to purchase some schrick manifold gaskets and am having problems trying to calculate shipping method and it wont work

Does anyone use this site to ship to Australia? Or better yet has anyone done it recently. Even better does anyone know where else I can get Schrick manifold gaskets lol.

Cheers in Advanced

its only an intake manifold. Would it be possible to get a custom gasket made? Surely it could get that expensive if you have the original still as a template

Don't really have the original one it kinda broke off into pieces when I could it apart to give it a clean

Depending on what kind of material is used Steve it aint that hard to make one up from a blank sheet unless it's one of those o-ring types? Is it a metallic or paper jobbie?

It looks like a paper jobbie a hard one anyway.

If it doesn't have o-rings etc in it you should be able to get a compatible gasket paper for it. I used to get mine in sheets about 450mmx450mm IIRC from rare spares in Homebush, they might be worth a try and it's not really that hard to cut em out either. If i can do it any old spazz can

You can buy gasket paper from Repco in a range of thicknesses. The rest is primary school art class revisited.

Just got a email from Autotech and they can send it for 29US which isn't too bad going on from ECS tunings website lol.

Yeah ECS shipping bites a$$!! They wanted US$65 to ship a pair of ALLOY spacers!!! Equal to the price of the parts!! Rip off US shipping really hacks me off

It should be 1/2 of that, its still better than the postage for Snowy's $71 wheel bolt cap

I think American seller's must assume we're all as stupid as their fellow countrymen?

Only trouble with MJM is that the only payment method is International Money Transfer, which takes a while and costs a bit from memory. You would think they'd have credit card payment facilities or at the very least a Paypal account, what's with these people?

Dude, you can make a new gasket yourself for chips with some gasket paper and a ball peen hammer.. (Not joking)




Cut the gasket paper bigger than you need, sit it over the surface.

Using the ball end of the hammer, tap it over the screw holes in a couple of spots opposite to eachother. This will break the edge of the paper and you can push the holes out.

Stick a couple of bolts through to hold the paper in place. Go around every edge of every hole (and the outside) and tap the edges through the gasket paper with the hammer. This again, breaks the edge.

When you have done all that you can pop all the slugs out. Then, if you need to, you can simply trim the edges with a knife of scissors.

Easy.
