Title: Carb top gasket
Post by: AndyD on March 03, 2020, 05:23:41 PM

Hi all,
Is there a good source for the carb top gaskets for the 400/4.
I've got everything else from Gerben so just need these to complete the bits needed.
Cheers,
Andy

Hi AndyD,

 I took mine from CMSNL, they are good so far, David Silver got them as well, but they both sell complete gasket set, not the top one alone.

Thanks,
Seems to be the case that they are readily available as part of a set but not on their own.
I'll keep looking
Cheers,
Andy

You could always buy a sheet of gasket paper, trace around the carb top and use a scalpel to cut it out, it's not a very complicated shape.

C'mon Dave, if you're going to use gasket paper, forget the tracing and scissors and use the old fashioned method of of tapping round the shape with a small ball pein hammer, it really works a treat y'know.

I gave up on that idea after losing my toffee hammer and having to use a 10Ib sledge hammer to do the job. It made a real mess of my fingers and carb tops 😁.

I've always had success with hylomar blue.
