Carb top gasket

[AndyD]

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.

[AndyD]

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.
