Having said which, I admit to never having had the tops off of my carbs, so quite happy to be proved wrong. Mike.

I've measured a fragment looks like its around 1.25mm or thereabouts compressed down to 1.0mm.

Get yourself a set of wad punches and punch on a piece of hardwood or MDF.

350Simon:
As mentioned above, flexoid paper from ebay is the best, its oil and water resistant and comes in various thicknesses up to about 2mm. Years ago I bought some leather punches, 3mm up to 19mm diameter for all the holes, and to cut the gaskets out you can't beat swiss army knife scissors.

Laverdaroo:
Ted,

this should save you a bit of faff mate.

They would if he didn't have a 400 Roo.
