A company called Hayley Group
On a local industrial estate, the Hereford branch are really helpful,
Imperial, metric,fuel resistant etc,
And the bonus, normally a fraction of the cost of NOS,
Take a sample, and the item, like tappet cap ,they will find the size needed

Thank you nurse Julie
any adea on the difference I should be looking for from gasket thicknes to `O ring`? or how would you work out what size would be best to use?
thank you again
Johnny4428:
Check the thickness of new gasket compared with old and the difference then added to standard o ring thickness.

thank you Johnny, the old gasket is completely damaged beyond measurement, had to scrap off, but thank you for the tip
