Air filter box gasket

(1/2) > >>

Grewth:
I've just stripped down the air filter box on my F1.
I can see that Honda didn't spare any expense when they designed it.
The rubber gasket joining the three pieces together has degenerated into a nasty sticky mess.
I found a new one (I think) on ebay only £50 with the shipping
I'm just wondering if anyone has managed to substitute anything else for the gasket  ?
I'm thinking that a careful application of black silicone sealant (ie from a builders merchant rather than an auto factor), might do the trick at a fraction of the cost.
Any other suggestions welcome! [ Guests cannot view attachments ]

Personally, I wouldn't silicone it, as that would be a bit of a job for the next filter change. Here's
one for £33.:-

Also, try the part no. In the David Silver search tool on their website?

Failing that, I'd be thinking door draught excluder, those little rubbery strips that stick to the door frame. Might find one the right dimension.

Grewth:
Actually,  that's the same one that I found.
£16 postage from Germany to be added to that.
This is starting to turn into an expensive game

Bryanj:
It always was expensive game

SteveW:
Not tried it myself but look up Butyl tape.
The stuff they use to stick the plastic moisture barriers behind car door panels.
Might work.
