Title: Vesrah gasket kits
Post by: Sesman on November 30, 2021, 08:22:32 AM

Anybody know of a source for Vesrah gasket kits, apart from Vesrah Tokoyo direct? They require a min order of 5No and a potential wait of 6 months.

My preference is to purchase a single set from the uk if possible, but if sufficient interest is shown I’ll acquire the min order and sell on 4 sets at around £85-£90 each.

I have tried to obtain Vesrah kits a number of times without success. I don't think there is a UK importer any more, the only place I've seen these for sale is on ebay. The last kit I bought had been opened and half of it was missing! I did get my money back after the seller claimed he hadn't checked it prior to sending  :o.
I think if you were to import 5 kits they wouldn't be hanging around for long.

Only difference between 500 and 550 gasket kit is the clutch cover gasket

Oh, winner. Sounds like a top end kit with a 500 clutch and generator gasket.

Cheers.
